Access to Work

Hiya. 

Have anyone used access to work for support? I put application and someone got in touch.  They could provide me with taxi support.  They said for other support I need occupational health assessment from work   

Anyone used access to work, taxi? How does it work? I work 0hr contract though.

  • I've used it. It's a long wait time but actually an easy process when you manage to get to the end of the wait. I used it for coaching and all I had to do was send them a quote and they ok'd the grant. I didn't have to prove my diagnosis or anything. Your employer does need to approve the money though so you have to speak to them. I'm not sure it'd matter that your on 0hrs. You can also apply if your self employed so as long as your employer will approve the support, I don't see why 0hrs would be different.

  • Hi. I chased it up and its now in the process of being approved.  They've done the taxi grant now . They've only allowed 1 fay work when sometimes I work 2 times a week but its fine. Something is bette than nothing. 

    They've not like discussed other support they can provide though.

  • No they didn't explain the reimbursement process. They literally provided the taxi grant only 1 day work when thered weeks I do 2. Its only covered 1 of my jobs despite saying I work other jobs.

    I also stated in application I wanted to discuss other support available and there was a note to provide a supprit worker possibly but nothing. 

    I asked for an app which helped me at uni and theyve said if I want that I have to submit another application 

  • Sorry I missed your first reply. When I did it I had to ask specifically for what support I wanted in the application process and then they approved it. They didn't discuss anything else. Only what I'd requested. 

    Have they explained about the reimbursement process or do you still need an answer to that question?
