Important update

The Leeds Beckett University Disability Assessment Centre has now closed and no longer provides Study Needs Assessments or any disability assessment services.

This applies to:

  • students seeking a new Study Needs Assessment
  • students previously assessed by Leeds Beckett University Disability Assessment Centre
  • review or follow-up assessment requests

Students applying for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA), or requiring a further assessment, should contact their funding body directly. Your funding body will arrange for you to be allocated to an approved assessment provider in your region.

How to arrange a Study Needs Assessment

Once your eligibility for DSA has been confirmed, your funding body will advise you on the next steps and arrange your Study Needs Assessment with an approved assessment centre.

Funding bodies include:

  • Student Finance England
  • Student Finance Wales
  • Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS)
  • Student Finance Northern Ireland
  • NHS funding bodies and other sponsoring organisations where applicable

Students previously assessed by Leeds Beckett

If you were previously assessed by the Leeds Beckett University Disability Assessment Centre and require a further assessment, review assessment, or support relating to DSA funding, you should contact your funding body directly.

Leeds Beckett University Disability Assessment Centre is no longer able to provide assessment appointments or assessment-related services.
