To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether hoists are refundable under the Access to Work scheme.
This question was answered on 12th September 2017
The support that Access to Work provides is considered on a case-by-case basis, dependent on individual work-related needs caused by disability or health conditions. Support can include specialist equipment, which may potentially include a ‘hoist’ if such an item is deemed to be necessary for the individual’s needs and appropriate within the terms of Access to Work guidance.
