answer text: I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Government Equalities Office. The Access to Elected Office for Disabled People Fund helps disabled people seeking elected office with any additional disability-related cost they incur as a result of either participating in a political party's selection process or standing for election, including standing as an independent candidate, for example paying for sign language interpretation or meeting extra travel costs. It is possible for applicants to have up-front costs paid, although grant payments are generally processed in arrears.
