Access to Work
Access to Work (ATW) can help fund extra costs in work that result from your sight problem. This funding can take the form of providing technology or covering the costs of employing support workers, travel to work or training. The level of Access to Work funding is decided through an assessment that takes place in your workplace. This assessment takes into account your sight problem, your working environment and the job tasks that you perform.
