Access to Work is here to help you
What is it?
Access to work is there to help you if you have ADHD - diagnosed or not!
Access to work is a government scheme that funds support if you have any kind of disability that is making it difficult to do your job!
If you’re finding the challenges that come with ADHD are preventing you from running your business or managing your workload, Access to Work could be the answer!
Why is it important?
Access to work provided up to £65,180 in 22/23 tax year per approved applicant. This means it wouldn’t cost you anything to gain support.
We call access to work the governments best kept secret as lots of people aren’t aware of the scheme. It is open to people with any kind of disability - including non diagnosed ADHD.
