Is there any point of going for an assessment?

Hi all,
I'm a university student in the UK and I was wondering if there was any point in going for an assessment. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Specific Learning Disabilities so I receive a considerable amount of support through that. However, the dyspraxia screening in the educational psychological assessment indicated a very strong possibility that I have dyspraxia
An official diagnosis of dyspraxia would not change who I am but I wonder if it would eventually be helpful in the workplace. The support I receive my my university includes help with organisation, time management, multitasking and so on which I've come to really rely on after a dreadful first year.
However, I have heard that there is very little support for dyspraxia in the UK outside of the schooling system making me question if going for an official assessment is worth the cost?
