A diagnostic dyslexia assessment can be useful because it provides documented evidence of an individual's learning profile and support needs.

Depending on age and circumstances, it may help inform applications or decisions such as:

SATs, GCSE and A-Level Exams - a current assessment can provide evidence that may support applications for arrangements such as extra time, a reader, computer use or other appropriate adjustments.
EHC Needs Assessment – assessment findings can contribute evidence about a child's or young person's special educational needs and the provision that may be appropriate.
Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) – for eligible university or higher-education students, a diagnostic report can provide evidence of a specific learning difficulty when applying for support. DSA can potentially fund specialist study skills support, assistive technology and other study-related support. https://www.sasc.org.uk/assessment-guidance/disabled-students-allowance

Exam access arrangements –The school, college or awarding body must still follow its own evidence and eligibility requirements.
Reasonable adjustments at school, college or university – findings can help education providers understand the barriers a student experiences and consider appropriate support.
Workplace adjustments – a report can help support discussions around reasonable adjustments, such as assistive technology, alternative ways of receiving information or additional time for certain tasks.
Driving theory and other formal assessments – evidence of a literacy learning difficulty entitle you to reasonable adjustments. See the BDA website for full adjustments - https://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/advice/adults/learning-to-drive
