Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Access to Work applications have been waiting longer than (a) three months, (b) six months and (c) twelve months for a decision.

Access to Work does not record the information in a way that allows data to be extracted by three, six or twelve month waiting periods. Providing the information requested would require manual examination of individual case records and would therefore incur disproportionate cost.
