Speaking as a sighted user, oddly enough I was looking at the Zychem
pricelist just earlier today.
Tricky one, this. The fuser appears to be about £510, but did you know
you can get the sheets processed from 52p each (minimum order £10)?
The lady I spoke to at Sight Village, Ellen Summers, seemed very
helpful. You never know, they might even know of a second hand one.
As far as DSA goes, though, I can't really understand your complaint.
DSA says: "Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) provide extra
financial help if you want to study a higher education course and have
a disability. DSAs are grants to help meet the extra course costs
students can face as a direct result of a disability".
But you're saying it's for your "independant work at home and has in
effect nothing to do with the University".
So, from that, I'd say it was probably the case.
