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 ensure Access to Work applications are processed within a reasonable timeframe.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2025
We are committed to reducing waiting times for Access to Work. We have increased the number of staff processing Access to Work claims by 27% and applications from customers who are about to start a job or who are renewing are prioritised.
The Green Paper launched a consultation which has now concluded. We are considering responses to the consultation and will set out our plans in due course.
