Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Answer of 31 March 2022 to Question 148243, what interim support is available to applicants when the processing of a renewal of Access to Work payments is significantly delayed.
DWP regularly reviews business processes within the AtW scheme. As part of this, we are now treating applications that are classified as renewal applications for on-going support as a priority group. For all renewal applications, cases will be prioritised and contact will be made as soon as possible.
