These two (unrelated) topics have cropped up recently here. I decided to seek final clarification from the VAT office and sent a letter describing the DSA process in step by step detail. They replied in writing that they had agreed to regard the process as not VATable. Details of my letter and their reply will be posted shortly. Likewise, we had a third year OT whose support had been inappropriate where it existed and inadequate overall. I set out to discover how the process for such students could be improved and have tracked down the staff in Leeds. A meeting was held there today (Wednesday) which agreed to include the issue and the Head of Student Grants, Paul Matthews has asked me to call him on Monday. Following that, I shall report what, if anything, is decided. I suspect that the sheer low numbers of such students means that a well oiled process is difficult to establish compared with the LEA side- whatever its own shortcomings.
