Has anyone applied for Access to work recently, or had a review of an existing award? I got offered a job last week but I’m trying to get an idea of how long people are waiting at the moment

    Hi @youglo and welcome to the community. Congratulations on the job! How are you feeling about it?

    I haven't personally applied for it but looking online it seems there is a significant backlog and it could take up to 37 weeks. However, as you are a new starter, your application will be considered a priority. I'm not sure of the waiting times in this case.
