NAIDEX, disability convention Birmingham

Anyone else going to naidex this month? Or Anyone been to it before? Me and 2 of my friends are going but I'd just like to know what to expect, I'd also love to meet some more disabled people irl so I thought I'd put feelers out there 😁

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 !
