Imagine how reassuring it would be to know that your Access to Work application is submitted with the perfect wording about your disability or condition.
After meeting with you to gather all the necessary information, I will submit the application on your behalf, taking the stress out of the process and ensuring every detail is accurate and complete. Together, we’ll explore the support you need and make sure you’re requesting every resource available to you.
If you’re preparing to apply for Access to Work and feel unsure where to begin, this comprehensive consultation gives you clarity, confidence, and a personalised plan. Together, we’ll map out exactly what to expect, what to request, and how to move forward with confidence and ease.
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.
You’ve reached the stage where your Access to Work assessment is coming up. This comprehensive session will help you feel prepared, speak clearly about your needs, and walk in with confidence. With practical guidance and tailored support, you’ll be ready to make the most of your grant.
Feeling nervous about your upcoming Access to Work assessment? You don’t have to do it alone. This remote support service for your Access to Work assessment includes a preparation call beforehand, attendance at the assessment, and a written next-steps summary, so you feel confident, supported, and ready to advocate for what you need.
The ‘Support Worker Record of Tasks’ form (also known as SWROT) determines how many hours of support worker help Access to Work will award you.
Did you know that by default, the number of hours you can have a support worker for is capped at 20% of your own weekly work hours?
Do you know how to extend that to 100%?
ATW is quite flexible in many ways, but you really have to know exactly what to tell them when you’re trying to get more than just a few hours of support worker help a week.
I will consult with you on the details that will make all the difference to you and complete the ‘Support Worker Record of Tasks’ form.
Please note the turnaround time for completing the SWROT is up to 1 week, which factors in a meeting with you where we discuss your support needs and decide on the approach we’ll take with the form, making sure you have a realistic idea of your possible outcomes.
If you’re requesting unique equipment or specialist support workers, Access to Work may ask you to find 3 quotes for the specific support you’re asking for. The quotes you provide will determine the amount of money ATW will award you for support.
I'm on hand to make this process as smooth as possible. Drawing from my previous experiences, I can identify and secure quotes that reinforce your application and give you the best chances of getting exactly what you’re asking for.
It’s especially important to find specialist quotes if you want support workers who are not paid the minimum wage and who can genuinely meet your unique neurodivergent needs. Securing detailed and relevant quotes from specialists will strengthen your application and maximise the value of your ATW grant.
The last thing anyone needs is a delay in reimbursement due to what I affectionately call ‘bureaucratic hell’.
The easiest way to get support from ATW is to pay for things out of pocket, then claim the funds back from ATW.
But did you put the wrong date down? 2-month delay.
You used the wrong form? 4-month delay.
Did you declare the wrong amount to claim? Go straight to jail. (Ok not really, but do you want to risk it?)
Navigating claim forms with the DWP can be tricky, but with my experience, we'll ensure every detail is perfect, speeding up the claiming process and making sure you’re never out of pocket.
If your Access to Work grant is coming up for renewal, you might be feeling unsure about what happens next. Even if your needs haven’t changed, renewals often reassess your needs, and you may worry about losing or having your support reduced.
This consultation gives you a calm space to understand what the renewal process will look like, how to prepare for conversations with your case manager, and how to communicate your needs clearly so you can approach your renewal with confidence.
