This area covers social welfare matters in England, including rights to benefits, social care support, housing-related assistance and the interaction with public services designed to protect vulnerable people. A solicitor in this field deals with applications for benefits, appeals when benefits are refused, assessments for social care, and disputes over eligibility, as well as advising on safeguarding and changes in residence or care needs. The work is shaped by national and local social security processes, and by the duties of local authorities.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the provisions, procedures and interactions: applying for and challenging social security benefits, navigating social care assessments, handling impact of eligibility rules, gathering medical and financial evidence, liaising with local authorities and the Department for Work and Pensions, and raising disputes in relevant tribunals or courts where necessary.
