------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO MARIA AT HER EMAIL ADDRESS BELOW The Disabled Student in receipt of a DSA as Employer I am a civil servant working for the Department for Education and Employment, currently looking into this subject. I would be grateful if contributors could e mail me some real-life examples of cases where the payment of the non-medical helpers' DSA has put the Disabled Student in the position of possibly being considered their personal assistants' employer. I would also like examples (successful as well as unsuccessful) of how different institutions and organisations have tackled this problem. Please note that I am not yet canvassing views.
