Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) are designed to help pay for extra costs you may face as a direct result of studying with a disability, a mental health difficulty, a specific learning difficulty like dyslexia or an autistic spectrum disorder such as Asperger's syndrome.
DSAs are not means-tested, so your parents' income will not be taken into account. Getting DSAs will not affect any other benefits you receive.
