<p>Access to Work is a demand-led, personalised discretionary grant which contributes
to the disability-related extra costs of working faced by disabled people and those
with a health condition in the workplace that are beyond standard reasonable adjustments.
It does not replace an employer’s duty under the Equality Act to make reasonable adjustments.</p><p>
</p><p>In 2006, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) took over responsibility
for providing adjustments that would previously have been funded through Access to
Work, for civil servants working in their department. This removed the need for DWP
staff to apply for Access to Work. In April 2022, all Government departments followed
suit and assumed responsibility for providing such adjustments for their staff.</p>
