Regulation 13 Grants for disabled students' living costs
An eligible student shall be eligible for grant for living costs equal to additional expenditure which the Secretary of State is satisfied he is obliged to incur in respect of his attendance at the course by reason of a disability to which he is subject; but the amount of grant shall not exceed the amounts referred to in paragraph (2).
The amounts referred to in this paragraph are such amounts as the Secretary of State considers appropriate:
not exceeding £10,505 in respect of each academic year for expenditure on a non-medical personal helper;
not exceeding £4,155 in respect of all the academic years during which the eligible student is eligible for support for expenditure on major items of specialist equipment, but where such payments have been made under the 1962 Act in respect of a transitional award holder the amounts of such payments shall be deducted from this maximum;
for expenditure incurred—
within the United Kingdom for the purposes of attending the institution;
within or outside the United Kingdom for the purpose of attending, as a necessary part of his course, any period of study at an overseas institution;
not exceeding £1,385 in respect of each academic year for any other expenditure including expenditure incurred for the purposes referred to in paragraphs (a) or (b) which exceeds the specified maxima.
