Question: Can I go ahead and apply for Disabled Students' Allowances without my new evidence from my GP because of COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for current students
section_headers: My childcare provider has closed and you’ve sent me a CCG2 form. If I can’t send this back will I still be paid Childcare?
section_content: Don’t worry about sending us a CCG2 form just now if you’re not able to. Our
priority is your health and well-being so stay at home. When we get your form
later in the year we’ll finalise your payments then.
If you have been overpaid, we’ll reduce your 2020/21 grant entitlement by the
overpayment amount. We understand this may cause you financial hardship.
Should this happen, we will work with you at the time to find a more
affordable way for you to pay back the overpayment.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not answer the question about disabled student allowance. Instead talks about overpayment.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The question is asking for information on Disabled Students' Allowances application and this answer provides information on CCG2 form and overpaid grant.

section_headers: I cannot send new medical evidence from my GP because of COVID-19. Do I have to wait until I have new evidence to make my application for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs)?
section_content: No. Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, we understand that you may not be
able to get any new medical evidence or diagnostic assessment reports. You
should send us any evidence you already have so we can check your eligibility
for DSAs. If we need additional evidence, we will let you know.
Student Finance England will accept an evaluation of need in place of a full
diagnostic assessment if you have Specific Learning Difficulties. If you have
an evaluation of need, you should email it to
dsa_medical_evidence@slc.co.uk along
with your full name, customer reference number and date of birth. Student
Finance England will accept any evaluation of need completed up to and
including 31 August 2020.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answers the question and gives more information and resources to help.
This is a direct answer to the question. This answer provides information on whether or not a person can apply DSA without new evidence from GP during Covid-19 and what actions to take to check the eligibility for DSAs and when further evaluation is needed

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It may or may not answer the question it isn’t really clear. The question did not have to do with taxes and this does.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The question is asking for information on Disabled Students' Allowances and this answer provides information on claiming grant for business that has been affected by Covid-19.
