Our DSA Student’s Own Equipment Insurance product is suitable for students who do not qualify for a laptop under DSA because they already have their own laptop. We cover accidental damage, breakdown and theft cover. When a student makes a claim, there is no excess to pay.

This unique insurance product has no restrictions on the number of claims a student can make and can be extended if the student extends their course.

Students who do not qualify for a laptop are introduced to Specialty Risks by ATSPs.

Students can purchase cover online using a bespoke application developed by Specialty Risks.

DSA Student’s Own Equipment Insurance applications are processed on our bespoke online application. 

Once an application has been accepted, policies and claims are processed on SPECS ^TM alongside our DSA Insurance policies and claims.

DSA Insurance claims can be made online through our bespoke IFNOL ^TM Application or over the telephone. 

Our Claims Application ensures that claims are processed quickly and efficiently.

To ensure students receive excellent report during their claim, we have developed disability-specific processes. We have also developed bespoke policies for managing claims from students who have been the victim of domestic abuse.

Our UK based team handles student questions and any amendments required to a policy. 

Students can contact us by email or by telephone.

Students are offered a range of payment options including credit and debit card, PayPal or direct bank transfer.

We provide students with a payment receipt (along with the policy documentation) that students can then use to seek reimbursement (where they are eligible to do so) from their funding body.
