<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 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>
