Preparing for an Access to Work assessment

Access to Work is a government scheme. Preparing well makes the conversation easier, though the decision is not PRC’s to make.

The assessment is easier when you can describe specific tasks that are difficult and why, rather than describing a diagnosis. Concrete examples carry more weight than labels.

Know what you are asking for

Having a view on what would help — coaching, equipment, software, changes to how work is structured — makes it easier to discuss.
