How do I make a claim from my general/travel allowance?

Please use the appropriate claim form ONLY in respect of those items approved on your DSA award letter (e.g. General allowance or Extra travel costs).

Items not approved in your award letter will not be reimbursed.

There are detailed guidance notes on each of the forms to explain how they should be completed. Please read and follow these notes carefully.

You must provide a receipt or itemised bill for every item claimed.

Please complete all sections of the form except those marked 'For DSA Office use only'.

Please ensure that you sign and date the declaration section of the form.

Your claim should cover items purchased during the study period (i.e. before the date of your examination). Please note that claims for items purchased outside the study period will only be approved in exceptional circumstances.

Please allow up to 28 days from the date of receipt in the DSA Office for reimbursement of your claim. Payment will be made to your bank account.

NB: Incorrect or incomplete claims will take longer to process if further information is required resulting in delays in reimbursement.
