We are currently building a digital service which will enable people/customers to:
- Submit a claim for Access to Work online
- View the status of previously submitted claims
- See how much of their grant award is left
We have extensively tested and iterated designs for this service with a range of users to ensure it is inclusive, usable and meets the needs of Access to Work recipients.
We will begin testing this new service with a small number of users soon before scaling up next year.

Named day
Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
