I have a chronic illness called mitochondrial disease, it is a form of muscular dystrophy and is progressive. I start university in september and am living at home. I was just wondering what support they will be able to give me, or if anyone has had any experiences they would like to share? I'm in the middle of applying for DSA where they will later assess my needs and support me from there, im just curious now. I suffer with fatigue and bad muscle pain, would there be any way that if i couldn't get to uni one day that the tutor would be able to skype/record the lecture and send it to me? Also I cannot write as my muscles in my hand are too weak, will I have access to powerpoints instead of note taking?

You should be able to have extra time for your assignments and exams, if you need it. A note taker who will take notes for you in class, both when you attend and when you cannot attend. It may be possible for you to have someone help you with exams - you might, for example, read the question and tell the person the answer, and they would write it on the paper.
It may not be possible for the lecturer to record or Skype the lecture, or provide Powerpoints, if those are not things they normally do. Accommodations need to be "reasonable", so it is not the case that if a lecturer doesn't normally even use Powerpoints, they must do so for you. However, as I said, there are other things that can be done to make sure you can fully participate in your classes.

You need to contact the Uni before you start. All UK Unis have facilities for disabled students, but you need to talk to them before this term ends.
