Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure individuals whose Access to Work requirements exceed the annual cap receive support to (a) start and (b) stay in work.

To enable disabled people whose support exceeds the Access to Work annual cap to maximise support, an Access to Work Holistic Assessment is carried out to identify if any assistive technology could be used. The Case Manager will work closely with the customer and their employer (where appropriate) to identify how the available support can be best utilised and identify any adjustments or support the employer could provide. These awards are reviewed annually.
