    Hi @Geegeenumber1

    I've had taxi travel arranged through ATW previously, they will normally ask you to collect three quotes from taxi companies who you would want to award the contract to, and then they will generally go with the cheapest option. 

    It's important to raise travel during your assessment and explain why you think taxi travel would be the best option for you to get to and from work.

    I've not used it myself but had employees that have 

    I think you need to show you are unable to use public transport

    hello

    I would like to apply for access to work grant I haven’t been working for 8 years now due to my disability I suffer from chronic back pain and use a walking stick to get around I have been looking for a job for a year now with no success I am concerned because I desperately need a job will qualify for access to work grant?
