What if I withdraw?

You must tell us if you are considering this. We will cancel any DSA payments authorised but not yet made and we will cancel the delivery of any equipment not yet delivered.

Your DSA award will cease for that year and we will not be able to make any more payments.

If you withdraw early in your first year of study without good reason, you may be required to repay any DSA payments made to you that you are not entitled to.

You may also have to return any equipment that you are not entitled to.

Please be aware that the following may affect your entitlement to DSA.

• withdrawing from a module of study
• taking ‘interrupted study’
• changing to a different module
• changing to a different qualification

If you consider any of the above actions after you have applied you may become ineligible for a DSA, so you must contact the DSA Office for advice as soon as possible.  Failure to do so could result in overpayment.  You may also become responsible for any outstanding payments owed to helpers and/or suppliers.
