Access to Work

What Access to Work is

Access to Work can help you get or stay in work if you have a physical or mental health condition or disability.

The support you get will depend on your needs. Through Access to Work, you can apply for:

• a grant to help pay for practical support with your work
• advice about managing your mental health at work
• money to pay for communication support at job interviews

As part of Access to Work, you may be eligible for:

• a grant to help pay for practical support with your work
• advice about managing your mental health at work

For these types of support, you must:

• have a physical or mental health condition or disability that means you need support to do your job or get to and from work
• be 16 or over
• be in paid work (or be about to start or return to paid work in the next 12 weeks)
• live and work (or be about to start or return to work) in England, Scotland or Wales - there’s a different system in Northern Ireland
