Dear Colleagues, One of my student uses a wheelchair and is in receipt of DSA. She receives a taxi allowance and has also requested an assistant (to push her wheelchair) and accompany her from home to University. I wonder what your thoughts are on this and do you think this is something the DSA should and/or would cover or should Social Services deal with this aspect of the support? Your response is much appreciated...
