There is a JISC TechDis site but might help, but it needs a bit of updating and this will be happening fairly soon. http://techdis.palepurple.co.uk/sites/techdis/access-to-work

Subject: Access to Work versus DSA
Hi,
I'm still working on my thesis and am currently writing a section
about DSAs funding As I'm going through Access to Work too I've been
thinking about the similarities and differences and am considering
including a section on this. It seems to me that AtW does not have
the same budget limits as DSAs do, and that in most cases AtW does not
require medical evidence. In comparison, some people have told me
that DSAs have required very detailed medical evidence about
disability/impairment and their impact on studies, and just
registration as blind/partially sighted has not be accepted. Does
anyone have any comments on this? It would be particularly good if
anyone knows of any websites or anything that go into detailsabout
DSAs or Access to Work.
Thanks,
Emma
