<p>To get help from Access to Work you must live in England, Scotland or Wales – there
is a different system in Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p><strong>England, Scotland
or Wales: </strong></p><p> </p><p>Number of people who receive an Access to Work payment
and total Access to Work expenditure are published annually as part of the Access
to Work statistics which can be found here:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/access-to-work-statistics-april-2007-to-march-2019"

</p><p>Please see specifically:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Table 6: The number of people who
received a payment for any Access to Work provision of each type, 2009/10 - 2018/19</li><li>Table
11: Expenditure on Access to Work provision, 2009/10 - 2018/19 (Nominal Terms)</li></ul><p>
</p><p> </p><p>The tables below show the number of people in Birkenhead who received
an Access to Work grant payment in the last five financial years and the total value
of those grants.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Birkenhead:</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
</p></td><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015/16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016/17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017/18</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018/19</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Number

</p><p>Please note:</p><p> </p><ol><li>In some cases, Access to Work provision is
approved however a DWP payment is not required, for example because provision can
be provided at no cost or the employer covers the relevant costs. These cases are
not captured above.</li><li>The same person can receive payment for more than one
grant of Access to Work of the same type or of different types in a given financial
year or in different financial years. The table above shows the number of people who
received a payment for one or more Elements in each financial year.</li><li>Expenditure
figures have been calculated using a methodology consistent with that used in the
published Access to Work statistics. Please see the background information and methodology
note for more information, in particular the “Weighting” section on pages 8-9.</li></ol><p><a
