Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people in Warwick and Leamington are entitled to Access to Work funding; and what is the average waiting time for receipt of that funding.
Access to Work is a demand led programme which provides help to disabled people to start or stay in work. The programme provides support to individuals that goes beyond reasonable adjustments; as such, any disabled person in or about to start work, who needs support beyond reasonable adjustments, is eligible to apply for Access to Work. We do not hold information on if a population is entitled to Access to Work, we only have data on who has applied.
We do not hold information on waiting times for receipt of funding by geographical area.
