To ask His Majesty's Government how many disabled people were in receipt of an Access to Work grant in the financial years (1) 2021–22, (2) 2022–23, and (3) 2023–24, and by sector.

  • 38,620 people were in receipt of payments for Access to Work provision in 2021 to 2022.
  • 49,020 people were in receipt of payments for Access to Work provision in 2022 to 2023.
  • 61,630 people were in receipt of payments for Access to Work provision in 2023 to 2024.

Table 6 of the latest Access to Work Official Statistics includes the number of individuals who were in receipt of Access to Work Provision within each financial year. The latest publication can be found here: Access to Work statistics: April 2007 to March 2024 - GOV.UK

The information requested about the number of individuals who received a payment for AtW provision by sector is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
