Access to Work Programme: Applications
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent progress she has made on reducing the time taken for Access to Work applications to be processed.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We are committed to reducing wait times for Access to Work, and we have deployed additional staff to process claims and streamlined our delivery processes. We prioritise applications from customers starting a job in four weeks, and renewals.
Access to Work continues to be in high demand and we recognise that further work is needed to ensure that it is providing a timely and effective service for customers.
