Access to Work Programme: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimated waiting times his Department is communicating to applicants to the Access to Work Programme.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Department is currently advising applicants submitting a new Access to Work grant that the estimated waiting time for their application to be reviewed is up to 30 weeks.
Applications from individuals who have a job starting in the next four weeks, or who are renewing existing support, are prioritised.
