I am dealing with a student who has broken his leg and will be in
plaster for three months. He needs help with travel costs as using
public transport is difficult.
His LEA have said that in line with their regulations they are
unable to assist him. He's not eligible for the DSA as it's a
temporary disability.
He will be applying for the Access Fund but I wondered if there were
any other avenues I could try, or indeed can his LEA refuse any
assistance?
