Disabled students’ allowance
If you are studying at an intensity of at least 25 per cent of an equivalent full-time course and have a disability, you can apply for a disabled students’ allowance. The amount that can be awarded for non-medical help and other general expenditure is, however, reduced according to the workload of a part-time course.
