Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many (a) applications and (b) successful applications were made to the Access To Work scheme in each year since 2010-11 inclusive.

The information requested on number of applications received is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate costs.

However, the Access to Work statistical release includes how many applications results in provision being approved from 2007/08 to 2019/20. Please see Table 1 of the Access to Work statistics.

The latest Access to Work statistical release can be found here:
