The students whose card was rejected made a valid point that her GP knew very little about her eye condition as she did not receive any ongoing medical attention from him. It seems to depend on the funding authorities. Debra Disability Adviser Coventry University From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tony Catt Sent: 19 November 2008 15:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Evidence for DSA HI There, Just wandering if anyone has experience of having a registration certificate for partially sighted/blind being rejected for entitlement to DSA? They have advised that they require an up to date GP letter explaining condition and impact on studying though the eye condition is very unlikely to change and I think it is obvious that this will impact his studies. I would be interested in views.
