What medical evidence do I need to provide in order to get support?
Answer
After disclosing your disability, we will ask you to complete a registration form when you first get in touch with us, as well as ask you to provide a copy of your Medical Evidence or Educational Psychologist Assessment.
If you do not currently have medical evidence then please download our Medical Evidence Form. You can take this to a medical professional, such as your GP, to fill in to provide you with appropriate evidence.
If your Educational Psychology report is not valid, or you have not been assessed before, we can arrange for you to have an assessment. These assessments do have a cost, with the student contribution amounting to £50 (unless you are in your final semester, when the full cost is due). Current students can find out more on the Student Hub. If you’ve been assessed since you turned 16 then you may not need another assessment. Contact us for further advice and we are able to review any previous assessment reports.
We may be able to accept evidence from fit notes or medical/service appointments for some University support. This may include reasonable adjustments to your assessments, or funded support but may not be sufficient for your Disabled Students Allowance application. If you are not sure, then please send a copy to our Disability Inclusion Service.
Medical evidence & previous Educational Psychologist reports should be forwarded to our Disability Inclusion Service by email to disability@salford.ac.uk.
