Access to Work

There are seven main elements within Access to Work:

1. Special Aids and Equipment (SAE)
2. Adaptations to Premises and equipment (APE)
3. Travel to Work (TtW)
4. Travel in Work (TiW)
5. Support Worker (SW)
6. Communication Support at Interview (CSI)
7. Mental Health Support Service (MHSS)

Contact has to be made by the claimant by telephone to the numbers listed below. When a person calls, they’ll be asked for:

• National Insurance number
• workplace address, including your postcode
• name, email address and work phone number of a workplace contact
• unique tax reference number if you’re self employed
