How can I renew my Access to Work award?

Modified on Wed, 3 Sep at 5:16 PM

You can renew your award online or by calling the helpline on 0800 121 7479. You can apply 12 weeks before your current award ends.


The renewal form is straightforward and should only take a few minutes to complete. You can read more about help and resources in our Help Centre.


Before you start online

    You won’t receive confirmation after you submit your renewal request

    Have your Unique Reference Number ready – you’ll find this on your current award


What will I need to provide?

You’ll be asked for:

    your name

    your date of birth

    your home address

    your Unique Reference Number

    your contact details (email and/or phone number)


You’ll then be asked if your support needs have changed. You can choose from:

    cost of support has changed

    how often support is needed has changed

    type of support needed has changed

    other change to support needed

    no changes


There’s no free text box to add more details at this stage.


What happens next?

Once you’ve made the declaration that your answers are correct, your renewal request will be sent to a case manager. They’ll process your request and get in touch. You can read more about what happens when a case manager contacts you in our Help Centre article.
