Access to Work
How Access to Work funds Humble.
Access to Work is a UK government grant that pays for practical support so someone can start or stay in work, including assistive software like Humble. It doesn't require a diagnosis and doesn't cost the employer anything. It sits alongside the employer's reasonable adjustment duty, not instead of it.
For assessors: three things to know
Which category Humble fits
Task and project management, planning and routine. It sits alongside tools like dictation or note-taking software rather than replacing them — see the full spec sheet for the wording.
What a recommendation sentence looks like
A copyable, report-ready paragraph is on the assessors page, along with the criteria assessors usually check.

What Access to Work covers
Access to Work pays for equipment, software and human support that helps someone do their job — hardware like noise-cancelling headphones or a second monitor, software like Humble, or ongoing support like an ADHD coach or virtual assistant. There's an annual cap, currently £69,260, though most claims sit well below it. Source: GOV.UK — Access to Work.

How a claim reaches Humble
Four steps, from assessment to set-up. Full detail, including what to prepare, is on our step-by-step claiming page.
Assessment recommends Humble
The assessor or applicant names Humble as the software that fits, using our assessor spec sheet as supporting evidence.
Access to Work approves
A decision letter confirms what's funded and how much. This usually takes several weeks — the set-up below doesn't need to wait for it.
Payment route confirmed
Access to Work pays Humble directly, or the client/employer pays and claims back with an invoice.
Set-up together
Calendar connected, notes imported, task system configured — done with the person you support, not left as a link for later.
Is Humble eligible for Access to Work?
Yes. Humble is organising software, the same category of assistive technology Access to Work already funds for ADHD and autistic people. It doesn't need to be named in advance — the assessor recommends it if it matches what the assessment found.
Does the client need a diagnosis to claim?
No. Access to Work doesn't require a formal diagnosis. Describing the difficulty and the support that would help is enough to apply.
Who pays for Humble while the claim is processed?
Either Access to Work pays Humble directly once approved, or the client or employer pays upfront and claims the cost back with an invoice. Both routes are covered on our claiming page.
How long does funding take to come through?
Usually several weeks between the application and a decision letter. There's no reason to wait for a decision before starting the Humble set-up — the two can run in parallel.
