What do you mean by social and domestic contribution?

Been awarded a laptop and mobility scooter, but they have said I need to contribute towards it

Are you sure its Access to Work? I didn't think you had to make a contribution,

Hi @missybpink
Thanks for your query, sorry to hear you're having trouble with ATW.
This information comes from the Scope website, it concerns funding and paying for any equipment or support provided by ATW:"The level of the funding depends on:
- if you’re employed or self-employed
- how long you have been in your job
- the type of help you need
Access to Work will normally pay 100% of the cost if any of these apply to you:
- you have been in a job for less than 6 weeks
- you are self-employed
- you need funding for a support worker, travel to work or interviews, communication support at interviews
If you apply after you have been in the role for more than 6 weeks, your employer might need to contribute towards the cost of things paid for by Access to Work.
Depending on the size of your employer, Access to Work could refund up to 80% of approved costs under £10,000. It will normally pay any balance over £10,000, up to £62,900 a year."
As you'll see, it can vary depending on many circumstances. Are you sure that ATW aren't asking your employer to contribute rather than yourself? How long have you been in your role?
