Got questions?
We've got answers!
-
What support can I access through this scheme?
Access to Work helps people with disabilities or health conditions to start/stay in work. Through the scheme, you can access funding for specialised equipment, a support service, disability awareness training, ADHD coaching, travel costs, and more!
-
Is Access to Work a reasonable adjustment?
No. It's extra support from the Government. Your employer has a duty to make reasonable adjustments to support your ADHD at work.
-
Is Access to Work for self-employed people?
YES. It's incredibly helpful for self-employed people and owners of companies, as we can't make our own adjustments!
-
*Will I access £65,000!?
This is an approximate amount allocated per person per year, but support is usually allocated to you. For example, if a virtual assistant is granted to you, then you could provide 3 quotes and they'd usually go with the lowest one. Access to Work is capped at £65,180 this year (2022/23).
-
How is the support funded?
In some cases, employers may be asked to contribute money towards the costs. However, in the majority, Access to Work will pay for all of the costs. You or your employer will usually pay these and claim them back from Access to Work afterwards.
