hi
I had asked SFE 2 weeks ago if they could place the forms for this year, and the next academic year on the same page as several of my students have filled out the wrong form as a result of the 11-12 ones being removed.
I've also asked that they make a bold statement to alert students to the difference / which forms they need to complete.
These changes have yet to be made, although SFE have replied (last week) to say they will do this...
thanks
Aly

Hi Natalya
Direct.Gov is still hosting the 11/12 DSASL and DSA1 forms at: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/EducationAndLearning/UniversityAndHigherEducation/StudentFinance/DG_194466
This is the generic page which hosts all of the 11/12 forms, not just DSA.

FYI as I can't believe I'm the only one who's made this mistake
(reasonable assumption).
The Direct Gov website
(http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/EducationAndTraining/HigherEducation/DG_10034898)
only has the 2012-13 DSA forms. So I have been assuming that the 2012-13
forms were correct for current students to complete as well and they're
not.
a lovely lady at the DSA told me this morning the declaration is different
(probably to reflect the funding and guarantee of support changes) and
that my students who have completed 2012-13 forms will need to complete a
2011 form as well but do not need to resubmit medical evidence.
Also I was told the DSA team/SFE are having issues with Internet and
finding links to the 2011 forms and experiencing difficulties with Direct
Gov in general. I have asked them to request the 2011 forms are
re-uploaded ASAP.
In the meantime the NNAC Wiki has the slightly more , completable and
saveable 2011 forms that I did last year at:
Short form:

Long form: http://www.nnac.org/wiki/images/d/dd/SFE_DSA_Long_Form_2011_12.pdf
