Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what target timescale her Department sets for the payment of invoices submitted through Access to Work.
As part of DWP’s response to the covid-19 pandemic, we have extended the time period for customers to submit claims for payment following costs being incurred, from six months to nine months.
Access to Work aim for customers to be paid within 10 working days of receipt of claims and all supporting evidence.
