How we can help

Support focuses on understanding benefit decisions, organising evidence and identifying possible review routes. We assess the regulatory position of each enquiry before accepting work; regulated claims management and tribunal representation are not offered as part of this service.

PIP and disability benefits

Applying for PIP or concerned that a decision does not reflect your day-to-day difficulties? We can help you understand the relevant activities and descriptors, organise examples of how you are affected and review supporting information so your written account is clear and specific.

Universal Credit matters

Confused by a Universal Credit calculation, deduction, sanction or decision about your circumstances? We can help examine the decision letter, identify the issue in dispute and prepare a clear written query or challenge, including organising evidence of income, housing costs or other relevant facts.

Mandatory reconsiderations and appeals

If the DWP has refused or reduced a benefit, we can help identify the decision date and relevant deadlines, structure your grounds of challenge and organise supporting evidence. We can assist with written mandatory reconsideration requests and appeal preparation within the scope of unreserved work.
