Welfare Benefits
The Department for Work and Pensions, (DWP) provides a range of welfare benefits to sick, injured and disabled people, their carers and families. We can explain what benefits you should be entitled to receive. If you are unemployed, disabled, on a low income or unable to work due to illness or an accident, then we may be able to assist you. If you instruct us, we will be able to assess your eligibility for benefits. Some welfare benefits are there to:-
- help injured and disabled people and their carers who are unable to work at all
- help injured and disabled people and their carers who are unable to earn as much
We work closely with our clients and talk to clients in depth to find out about their personal circumstances and we ensure that they are claiming the welfare benefits they are entitled to.
We also deal with disputes regarding benefits over-payments, all aspects of Appeals, backdating of benefits and the link between criminal proceedings regarding benefits over-payments and underlying benefit entitlement. We achieve an excellent success rate in benefits appeals. We offer the services in the following areas of welfare benefits:-
