I am struggling with Access to Work, I have been referred to Remploy and I am finding them simply awful and evasive.

Hi @RachelSB
I am sorry to hear you are having a tough time, we have lots of support around employment here that you might like to read.
I wonder if @pia_scope or @Donisha_scope can offer any thoughts?

Hi @RachelSB
As you may know Remploy are contracted by DWP to deliver access to work mental health support.
As we are talking about government funding, could I suggest you contact MP, for them to get involved on your behalf.
You have a right to have your concerns investigated. -
Hi@RachelSB
I am sorry to hear that you are having difficulties.
Are you in work at the moment or looking for employment?
I'm looking forward for your reply so I would know how to best advice you.
Kind regards

I am in work.
Remploy appear to be offering unqualified psychological support.
This would be illegal in other countries. -

I think the information is out of date?
As I have a mental health condition instead of all this reasonable adjustments and assistive tech stuff that mentioned on you page I have been referred to Remploy who offer unqualified emotional support?
it seems the scheme is split in two streams, nine months unqualified head shrinking for mental health cases. Three years occupational therapist for physical problems?
