Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how the Access to Work cap is calculated.
This question was answered on 18th December 2023
The Access to Work upper limit, known as ‘cap’, provides up to £66,000 of support for disabled people, to move into and sustain employment. The calculation used to determine the cap limit is twice the amount of national average earnings published in the Office for National Statistics Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.
