Access to Work Programme: Mental Illness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will publish a list of mental health conditions that qualify for the access to work scheme.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
There is no list of mental health conditions that qualify for the Access to Work Scheme. Access to Work is available for all disabled people and those with a health condition who require workplace adjustments that go beyond what would normally be expected from an employer through their duty to provide reasonable adjustments as outlined in the Equality Act 2010.
