Really good news. Access to Work is developing and will soon be testing an online claims portal. When the portal is complete, you should be able to do the following things (although maybe not all of them will be available when it is first launched):
The portal is being worked on now and will be tested as it is developed, so we can't yet say when it will be ready.
- Submit all of your claims online, including support worker invoices.
- Ask employers and support workers to verify (electronically sign) your claim online.
- Change who needs to sign your form, e.g., if your manager is away on holiday.
- See how much of your award has been used and how much is left, based on the claims you have already sent in.
- See the status of claims you have sent through the portal, e.g., what has been submitted and what has been paid.
- Check your renewal date.
