Access To Work

In October the rules for Access To Work changed meaning you have to earn a certain amount each week for two years before you claim it. Are there any other benefits that people who don't earn this amount can claim in order to get support from a Personal Assistant whilst in self-employment?

I've been looking into this for you but I cannot find anywhere that states you have to earn a certain amount each week for two years before you claim Access to Work. Could I ask where you found this information?
Here is a link to the government website which talks about Access to Work and how you can qualify for help. https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work/overview
We have information on our website about work and you might find some ideas there about funding for a PA. http://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/work/factors
I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you for posting the link, I couldn't see that part for looking but it's really clear now.
I'm not aware of any other funding but if you would like to contact me at the helpline and give me some more information about your situation, I'll look into it for you.
Best wishes
Debbie
