In the circular "REVIEW OF DISABLED STUDENTS ALLOWANCES" to LEA Awards
officers dated 9 May 1996, from David Cook at the Student Support Division
of the DfEE, you will find the following: (para 2.46 headed The special
equipment allowance)
"It would be reasonable for any insurance or extended warranty costs and for
repair and modification costs arising from the ownership of such equipment
to be set against this allowance".
I am not aware of any further advice from the DfEE which contradicts this
opinion.
Ian.
