Dear all,
Has anyone encountered a student with diabetes
receiving a PC through DSA? I have recommended a food allowance and/or a fridge
for students with diabetes in the past, but never a PC.
I have recently come into contact with a student
who believes he is entitled to a PC because he has diabetes. He has provided his
ELB with a GP's letter backing him up. However, the ELB have refused to give him
the PC because I did not recommend it, and even now, I feel that I cannot
justify why he would require one for reasons relating to his
disability.
any feedback would be much
appreciated.
thanks
