"Health adjustment passport"

Please note "can be used", not "must be used".
Passport - "any quality or characteristic that gains a person a favorable reception or acceptance or admission"
The document is not going to gain a disabled person a favourable reception from an employer, acceptance from an employer, or admission into employment.
"apply for support" does not mean the disabled claimant will get support. "could include funding" indicates that it's not guaranteed.
There is no funding where an employer has no lift, no evacuation procedure and a 100 stairs to their office.
Work coaches already use the existence of the Access to Work fund thinking they can use the fund's existence to over-ride restrictions in a CC. The "passport" and Access to Work fund does nothing to alter the fact that employers can hire or not hire who they damn well like, they don't have to hire a disabled person even if they can get funding in order to be able to do the job.
The Health Adjustment Passport can be used if you have a disability or health condition that makes it harder for you to move into work or stay in a job.
You can use it to:
support you to identify what support and changes (known as reasonable adjustments) you may need when you are in work or moving into work
apply for support from Access to Work. This could include funding for specialist equipment to support you to do your job, support getting to and from work or support when you are in work, such as job coaching
help you talk to employers about adjustments and in-work support that you may need
Please note "can be used", not "must be used".
