A colleague with an ND condition obtained Access to Work funding for support in the workplace and engaged with us to discuss its disbursement. We agreed a plan and started the process of implementation but, for various reasons, we never got to actually making it happen and they've now been told the funding is no longer available due to the amount of time taken.
As I carry a certain amount of responsibility in this, I'm extremely keen to make good and am proceeding with a plan to implement the plan anyway and find the funds for it within institutional budgets. But obviously it would be better if we could get AtW to pay for it.
I've never had to directly engage with AtW funding before, though. Is there any way for the employer to go back to DWP and say "my bad, can we do this again?" or is it entirely on the employee to start the whole thing over from scratch?
