Your Access to Work Holistic Assessment
Supporting you at work
This holistic assessment covers all aspects of your health condition and/or disability and how it impacts you at work.
Your Department for Work and Pensions Case Manager will agree your assessment type with you, based on your needs:
Virtual

Ideal if you can tell us how your condition impacts your job (over a call).
A colleague can help you if required (eg. with desk measurements).
Employer support is voluntary.
Face-to-Face
Holistic Assessment
Ideal for more complex needs and you may need support to tell us how your condition impacts your job.
We will assess your workstation.
Employer support is voluntary.
Enhanced
Holistic Assessment
Ideal for more complex needs.
We will assess your working area and any additional help you need (eg. workplace adjustments).
Employer support is mandatory.
As part of our support, our experienced disability assessors will:
1. Make sure you have the right assessment, as agreed by your Case Manager.
2. Work with your Case Manager, to overcome any barriers by providing solutions matched to your needs.
3. Arrange a suitable time with you for the assessment.
4. Complete a thorough assessment, considering your workplace barriers.
5. Provide feedback and recommendations to your Case Manager within two weeks.
