Notes | Definitions and coverage for different scheme types can be found below. All providers Disabled Students' Allowance This scheme relates solely to Disabled Students' Allowances funded by the Student Loans Company (SLC) or Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS). Where Disabled Students Allowance exists it must be returned as a financial support type of 100 Disabled Students' Allowance. This is required to be returned for any students in receipt of Disabled Students’ Allowance except where (SessionStatus.STATUSCHANGEDTO = 02 for the entire reference period) or (Leaver.ENGENDDATE - Engagement.ENGSTARTDATE <= 14 days and RSNENGEND = 03, 05, 11, 12). A student in receipt of Disabled Students’ Allowance would be expected to be coded from 51 to 96 for Disability.DISABILITY excluding code 95.
