Disabilities

The Resolution Foundation's recent research highlights that there has been a rise of 2.3 million disabled people in employment, with around 1 in 7 workers being disabled. If you have a physical or mental health problem, or if you are disabled, Access to Work may be able to assist you in finding or retaining a job.  
 
The level of support you receive will be based on your requirements. Through Access to Work, you may apply for a grant to help pay for practical work support, assist in managing your mental health at work, and more. 

To be eligible for Access to Work, you must be over 16 and have any condition or impairment that affects your ability to perform your job or travel to work, and be in or about to start paid work, including self-employment.  

Access to Work may only evaluate you if you have confirmed a job offer or during your employment; you cannot be assessed before receiving a job offer.
