An Investment in Your Career
Many prospects worry about the cost of a private assessment. However, when viewed through the lens of Access to Work, a diagnosis is often the best financial investment an ADHD professional can make.
What will the DWP fund?
Once you have your Lucid ADHD report, you can apply for a grant that covers:
- Specialised ADHD Coaching: Usually 12–20 sessions to master time management.
- Noise-Cancelling Technology: To reduce sensory overwhelm in the office.
- Virtual Assistants: To help with the “admin heavy” parts of your job.
- The “ADHD Tax” vs. The Grant: The “ADHD Tax” is the money you lose through impulsivity, missed deadlines, and burnout. By using your diagnosis to access government funding, you aren’t just getting a label—you are building a sustainable career.
