A Message From The Access To Work Collective
September 17, 2026
The Access to Work Collective is speaking to a national newspaper about the financial impact of Access to Work and would like to hear from disabled people who have been left out of pocket or in debt because of the way the scheme operates.
For example, have you:
- Had to pay for taxis or other essential travel upfront while waiting months for reimbursement?
- Used a credit card, overdraft, savings or borrowed money to cover Access to Work costs?
- Been left unable to pay other bills because you were waiting for an Access to Work payment?
- Had to take on debt to maintain the support you need to stay in work?
- Experienced significant financial hardship because reimbursements or payments were delayed?
If you have experienced this and would like to share your story, please email us at accesstoworkcollective@gmail.com.
We would particularly like to hear about the amounts involved, how long you were waiting and the impact it had on you.
Your experience may help demonstrate the real-world financial consequences of the current Access to Work system.
Please share this with anyone who might have a relevant experience.
