Disability support
Evidence
To qualify for disability support you will need to provide the Disability Support and Inclusion team with evidence.
Medical and mental health conditions
You will need to provide medical evidence that shows your diagnosis. This could be:
- A letter from your GP, consultant or other medical professionals, including Education Health Care Plan (EHCP).
- A treatment report from a registered medical or health professional. For example, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, nurse practitioner.
- Private counselling or psychotherapy letters.
- A Needs Assessment report carried out as part of an application for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA).
- DSA Medical Evidence form.
- A screenshot of your NHS patient record if it has your name and details of your condition.
Evidence support
If you think you may have a specific learning difficulty, you can use our online screener QuickScreen, and we will then invite you to discuss the results with us.
To be assessed for ADHD or autism, you will need to go through your GP.
You may be able to receive a Working Diagnosis if you are on the waiting list for a diagnosis. We can accept this as evidence for a Learner Adjustment Plan (LAP). Please ask your doctor or consultant to complete a Working Diagnosis Form.
