Asked by: Markus Campbell-Savours (Independent - Penrith and Solway)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the current waiting times are for Access to Work applications.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

For details on the average processing time for Access to Work grant applications from April to June 2025, please refer to the answer I gave on 3 July 2025 to Question UIN 63906.

We are committed to reducing waiting times for new applications and have increased the number of staff processing Access to Work claims. Applications from customers who are about to start a job or who are renewing are prioritised.
