Disabled students allowance (UK)

Hi everyone reading this! Has anyone got any experience / knowledge about MS and the award of DSA in the United Kingdom ? MS can be so different for people, so I’m guessing it’s on a case by case basis. Anyhow .. Thanks in advance !

Car sticker for disabled parking

I've been watching videos on YouTube about people being questioned by other disabled blue badge holders on whether they should be parking in disabled car spots because "they don't look disabled". I think it's disgusting. If anyone said that to me, they'd get their answer. I have to admit. When I par...

Disabled Persons Railcard - the saga continues on the BBC

I was interviewed for MoneyBox Live on BBC Radio 4 the other day because they (the Rail Delivery Group in charge of the cards) still haven't changed their site to make it clearer as they had promised.

Disabled Railcards - the saga continues

As many of you know - search it all using the magnifying glass on the top right - about 3 years ago I got very worked up at the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) which manages the Disabled Persons Railcards.

NEW MS BLOG | “Am I Invisible?” by @Rubysoho_87 Even prior to my diagnosis when I didn’t know why I was unwell, I was having to cancel plans more often.
