For whom

You can get a contribution for aids and facilities in your workplace if you have a disability that affects your ability to work and you need aids to be able to do your job. This applies if you are employed, self-employed, if you are participating in a programme or receiving other support from us or are involved in working life orientation at a school.

How it works

• Contact us if you need aids and facilities or an adaptation of your workplace. We will then make an assessment of whether a contribution can be given.
• If you are not already registered with the Swedish Public Employment Service, you will need to register in order for us to be able to process your application.
• Keep in mind that your application must be approved before you order an aid or sign a rental agreement.
• We pay the contribution to you. If you are unable to pay the invoice for the aid before you have received the contribution, we can pay the invoice for you.
• If you leave the employment or work experience where you received a contribution, you can keep the aid and take it to a new workplace.
• If you have provided information that is not correct or if you do not use the aids or facilities that we have agreed upon, you must pay back the contribution.

Insurance

When you have received a contribution, you are the owner of the aids or facilities and are responsible for taking out any insurance. You are also responsible for maintenance and any taxes. However, you may receive support from us if any aid needs to be repaired.
