cuts to DSA affecting dysraxics, dyslexics, AD(H)D people

Concerns do not end here. Proposed changes to DSA funding may fundamentally redefine disability in higher education. Students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs), such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADD/ADHD, have been singled out for the largest cuts, and there is a real danger that their needs become invisible.

The Tory party really are the nasty party , discriminating against the type of disability.

this is why I am voting YES in September as the cuts coming from Westminster are disgraceful!

I found the DSA form and Notes provided more confusing than my actual assesments!

We might want to deport that lot from Westminster so make sure your borders are more secure than ours (according to the Daily Mail etc) 8-)

I must admit I'm cynical about the lot of them, whatever party the represent!

Cutting the DSA will mean people struggle to attain or worse completely miss out on the extra advantage a good education can provide.

I've forwarded link to Dyspraxia Foundation in case they've by some chance missed it.
