We have had two students in this
situation. We didn’t get the DSA to cover it, as it was to do with the
provision within University accommodation that we should be making reasonable adjustments
to. So the University funded the mattresses.

Hello
I have
a student who requires a particular type of mattress, due to back problems, for
use in his university accommodation.
Can
anyone tell me if the purchase of this can be made from the Disabled Students
Allowance, or does it come from an assessment via Social Services?
Grateful
for any advice.
Please
email me off list.
