How I can help

I’ll help you understand wait times, how to potentially speed up the process, and highlight any critical points you need to watch out for.

By the end of our session, you’ll walk away with a fully personalised Access to Work roadmap, complete with timelines, to-dos, and key things to remember for every step, so you can confidently take control of your journey.

Conversations with your employer

If you’re employed, it’s important to prepare your employer early about their Access to Work responsibilities. They’ll need to be involved in finalising your grant and may have to manage payments before claiming reimbursement.

I know talking about your disability at work can be tough, which is why I’m here to help you explain what’s involved in applying for Access to Work and what it means for them, so they know exactly what to expect and what to do. With their support from the start, we can ensure your Access to Work process goes smoothly and you get the support you need without delays.

Preparing a business plan (Self-employed applicants)

If you’re self-employed and you don’t have a tax return from the previous financial year that shows your work earned more than £6,500 that year (known as the ATW Lower Earnings Limit), you will need a business plan to be eligible for ATW support.

Your business plan will need to meet certain criteria to satisfy ATW.

I will prepare your business plan ahead of your application. It is important to have your business plan ready in advance because after your application is picked up, Access to Work usually allows only a few days for you to send in additional information or documents. Having your business plan ready in advance significantly improves your chances of a smooth and timely application.
