Access to Work Programme: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of applicants for Access to Work wait longer than the target timeframe for (a) decisions and (b) payments.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Department publishes official statistics on approvals, expenditure, and customer volumes. However, it does not publish processing times for decisions or payments.
Official statistics on approvals and payments are published annually and can be accessed here: Access to Work statistics - GOV.UK
