Could Access To Work Help?
Access to Work supports eligible disabled people and people with health conditions to start or stay in paid work. Support can include specialist equipment and eligible travel costs when public transport cannot be used.
The main scheme covers England, Scotland and Wales, with a separate scheme in Northern Ireland. Applicants must be 16 or over and in paid work, or about to start or return within 12 weeks. Part-time, self-employed and home workers can qualify.
Funding depends on your circumstances and the decision on your application. Employer responsibilities for reasonable adjustments still apply. Check approval and payment arrangements before committing to a purchase.
