Welfare Benefits
We have extensive experience in assisting clients when they have been refused benefits. We can assist from re-determination requests through to Appeals to the Commissioners for both means tested and non means tested benefits.
When you consult us for assistance with welfare benefits we will carry out investigations, gather evidence and ensure you receive the advice you need to make decisions about whether to appeal, request a reconsideration or make further benefit applications.
We have a particular interest in housing benefit because of the effect withholding this benefit has on a client's life. We understand that it can mean the difference between losing your home or continuing with your tenancy.
We can also liaise with landlords, local authorities and other interested parties to ensure they are kept up to date with your situation, and in some cases this means keeping your tenancy.
We can also assist with Disability Living Allowance appeals, incapacity benefit appeals, income support appeals and other welfare benefits appeals.
