Within educational settings those who do not qualify for DSA funding, typically Apprentices, Adult, Foreign and Research Council students can participate in a non-DSA Needs Assessment to establish support to overcome barriers resultant from their disability. Costs are reimbursed through appropriate funding bodies. ESFA funded students (Apprentice and Adult can claim up to through excess funding and over through exceptional funding). Research Council students can claim through UKRI with Foreign Students left with possibly less reliable funding streams for support. 49,820 workers claimed Access to Work funding in 2023-2024 an incredibly low number when it is considered that there are 5.53 million working age disabled people in the UK.
