Access to Work: get support if you have a disability or health condition

Apply for an Access to Work grant

If you’re a civil servant, your employer will provide support instead of Access to Work. Contact them directly to arrange this.

You can apply for Access to Work online or by phone.

You’ll need to give:

your contact details
your workplace address and postcode
information about how your condition affects your work and what support you think you need
details of a workplace contact who can confirm you work there, if you’re employed (they will not be contacted without your permission)
your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number, if you’re self-employed

If you need the form in other formats, such as braille, large print or audio CD, call the Access to Work helpline.

You can apply by calling the Access to Work helpline. Make sure you have all the necessary details with you when you call.
