Access to work grant

An Access to work grant can pay for practical support if you have a disability, health or mental health condition to help you start working, stay in work, move into self-employment or start a business. The money doesn't have to be paid back and will not affect your other benefits.

There is no set amount for an Access to Work grant. How much you get depends on your circumstances. The money can pay for things like adaptations to the equipment you use, special equipment, fares to work and if you can't use public transport and so on.
