OP, did you declare a disability when you filled in the application form? It's a tick box where it guarantees you an interview and so they'd know that you had a disability but not necessarily which one it is. If you didn't tick that box, then the interview panel won't have known that you're disabled.
As for Access to Work, I'm not sure if it's as much as up to £50K like one poster mentioned. I think it was more like £5K-£7K but I was able to apply for it on 3 separate occasions. It was once for each workplace I've worked at and the grant would reset back to £5K/£7K each time because it was treated as a new application each time. The help I got was a combination of hardware/software for sight and hearing impairment including radio aids and some one-to-one tuition on problem solving from a sight/hearing loss point of view.
