<p>Access to Work is keen to continue to support disabled people whether working in
the workplace or at home. In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, Access to Work
have implemented a number of easements to support customers, one of these easements
is removing the need for customers to obtain a physical signature from either their
employer or support worker.</p><p> </p><p>From 23<sup>rd</sup> April, Access to Work
will not require a physical signature from employers or support workers to validate
customer claims. Instead the employer or support worker will be able to send in an
email confirmation to support the claim, or the customer can attach the email to their
claim form.</p><p> </p><p>Recognising that some customers have expressed concerns
about still having to sign claim forms and post them, Access to Work is exploring
alternative ways of accepting claim forms and customer signatures.</p><p><strong><br>
