Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what criteria his Department applies to identify those people in receipt of Access to Work support.

I am interpreting this question as asking for the definition of people who are helped by Access to Work.

The following definition of the number of people helped in a given year is provided in the published statistics: "individuals who have been assessed within the year or for whom there is an [Access to Work] element where approval has been made (including nil cost) and the element has been made available within the year."
