Details

You will not automatically get DSA. You need to send us evidence to show you qualify for it.

If you do not have evidence to show you qualify for DSA, a medical professional needs to give us information about your disability on this form.

Your medical professional might charge you to complete this form. You cannot claim this cost back through DSA.
