Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The support that a customer will receive from Access to Work is dependent upon their needs and circumstances at the time they make an application and will be tailored to the individual. This flexibility helps customers to receive support that is most appropriate for them. Types of support include specialist equipment, physical adaptations to premises, help with the cost of travelling to work and support workers.
89.4% of customers receive awards below £10,000, with support being capped at £69,260 per year.
