Access to Work can help you get or stay in work if you are 16 or older and have a physical or mental health condition or disability. The support you get will depend on your needs.
Access to Work could give you a grant to help pay for things like:
- specialist equipment and assistive software
- support workers, like a BSL interpreter, a job coach or a travel buddy
- costs of travelling to work, if you cannot use public transport
- adaptations to your vehicle so you can get to work
- physical changes to your workplace
- Your workplace can include your home if you work from there some or all of the time.
Eligibility
- have a physical or mental health condition or disability that means you need support to do your job or get to and from work
- be 16 or over
- be in paid work (or be about to start or return to paid work in the next 12 weeks)
- live and work (or be about to start or return to work) in England, Scotland or Wales - there’s a different system in Northern Ireland
