Access to Work

Some people who can’t drive because they have epilepsy may be entitled to help with the additional costs of travel to and from work, and also travelling while at work. This comes under the Access to Work scheme. Contact the Disability Employment Adviser at your local Jobcentre Plus to see if you qualify for this.
