Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 6 November 2018 to Question 184973 on Disabled Students' Allowances, whether the research project on the impact of disabled students' allowances on eligible students has been completed; and when he plans to publish that research.

The research project has been completed and its report was published on 17 January 2019. The report is available at the link below:

In an article on 17 January, I called on universities to do more to show disabled students that going to university can be an option for them, and to put disabled students front and centre in their planning to accommodate their needs. A link to the article can be found here:
