How to apply for Access to Work
To apply for Access to Work, visit the UK government website at www.gov.uk/access-to-work and complete the online application form. You’ll need to provide some personal details, such as your National Insurance number, along with information about your job, employer, and the type of support you think would help you at work. If you prefer, you can also apply by phone using the contact details provided on the same page.
Once your application is submitted, someone from Access to Work may contact you to discuss your role and the challenges you face. They might arrange a short assessment to help identify the most suitable support or equipment for you. After the assessment, you’ll receive a confirmation letter outlining what funding has been approved and how it will be managed. In most cases, either you, your employer, or a supplier will arrange the support, and the costs can then be reimbursed through the Access to Work scheme.
