It is – SFE doc clearly states – WARNING: the amount of support requested in the NAR will exceed the agreed amount of
money. (or very similar).
Not good, IMHO.

Ah! The student can give permission to the funding body to use any remaining amounts in the General Allowance
to cover any shortfall in either NMH or Equipment - so that might be an option. If this is still not sufficient, then the Assessor/Assessment Centre should have taken this into account at assessment as we know that there is no provision for funding bodies
funding elements that go over the maximum amounts available. This should also have been picked up by the funding body in the DSA2 letter.

Hi Lesley,
The issue is not that the supplier is not approved but that there is not enough DSA equipment budget to meet
all equipment costs.

Surely if an ATSP who is NOT the approved supplier puts in an invoice this will be knocked back - unless the
student has changed supplier?

SFE policy: First invoices received, first paid.
Later invoices once the agreed amount has been paid are refused.
Welcome to the ATSP world

Subject: DSA equipment overspend for SFE students.
We have recently had sight of an unusual request from SFE which is essentially asking the University to fund
an overspend in the DSA equipment allowance. At the time of assessment it was clear that the students’ needs were extremely high and that the equipment allowance would be insufficient to meet the needs. At the time our assessment centre managed the allowance
as best we can but essentially there was still an overspend. The student was consulted at each stage and it was agreed at the time we issued the report that the student would meet the additional overspend cost.
A year later and the university has been asked to accept an invoice for the overspend from the supplier. These
are highly unusual circumstances but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. As far as I can tell the student has received all equipment but not all supplier invoices have been able to be paid.
Many thanks,
Mark
