If you have a disability or health condition and it’s affecting you in your job or getting one, then Access to Work may be able to help you.
Access to Work is a discretionary grant-based award delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions that can pay for support for people with a disability or health condition, and disability related workplace needs – beyond those covered by an employer’s responsibility for reasonable adjustments. You don’t have to pay it back and it doesn’t affect any other benefits.
