Content warning: the inefficient realities of Access to Work etc
Useful context from @…:
"If blind and you need £5k of special equipment to enable you to work. Tough, wait... Oh looky, employer doesn't (reasonably) want to wait MONTHS and if they fork out the £5k the government won't pay it back. ...
"A blind friend only kept their new job because they had old (not optimal) blind tech they could use during the wait."
