Access to work

Overview

An Access to Work grant is money for practical support to help someone do their job. It’s for people with a disability, health or mental health condition.

The money you get can pay for things like:

  • an expert assessment
  • specialist equipment
  • travel when you can’t use public transport
  • a support worker

How much an individual gets will depend on a set of circumstances about them, their other allowances and the size of the employer. It’s only available in England, Scotland and Wales.

For more information ask at your local Jobcentre or visit the Access to Work website.
