Students can access the Wellbeing and Disability Service without medical evidence, however providing evidence will allow us to put in place the most appropriate support.
Useful Evidence:
Diagnostic reports and assessments
A full diagnostic assessment report carried out by:
- Practitioner Psychologists registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), or
- specialist teachers holding a Current Practising Certificate in specific learning difficulties (SpLD) Assessment - the report should have the certificate number and issuing body
Disabilities and Long-Term Conditions
Letters from GPs, doctors, consultants and hospitals which confirm:
- Diagnosis/working diagnosis or description of difficulties
- Duration or date of on-set
- Impact on day-to-day activity and/or ability study
Applying for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)?
If you are a home student and intend on applying for DSA, you will also need to provide evidence to your funding body. Funding bodies often have specific medical evidence forms and we would advise you use these where possible to avoid delays in your application.
All documents should be written in Welsh or English. If they are in another language they need to be translated into Welsh or English. This should be done by certified translation services.
