Screening is not a diagnosis. You can ask for help without being certain that ADHD is the explanation.
What Access to Work is
GOV.UK says Access to Work can provide a grant to pay for practical support at work, or support with your mental health at work. It isn't a benefit and doesn't affect other benefits you get.
