Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the shortest waiting time was for any person applying for Access to Work in the latest period for which data is available.

During October 2023 a number of Supported Internship and Mental Health Support service direct referrals have had a decision within 1 day of the person making the application.

Please note that the data supplied is derived from unpublished management information, which was collected for internal departmental use only, and have not been quality assured to National Statistics or Official Statistics publication standard. They should therefore be treated with caution.
