    Benefits work covers claims for welfare payments such as universal credit, PIP, DLA, ESA and housing benefit, and any appeals if a claim is refused or received an underpayment. A solicitor in this field helps clients prepare forms, gather medical evidence, liaise with the Department for Work and Pensions and the local authority, challenge decisions at reconsideration and appeal to the Tribunal, and handle associated questions about disability, health conditions and living standards. They also advise on timing, eligibility criteria and safeguarding issues where benefits disputes affect dependants.

    “Amars manner and polite considerations are so as I don't feel worthlessly dense - he talked and behaved as I am equal although he's obviously extremely learned. I am always kept up to date and Amar will always invite any questions and always does his best and explains clearly. Amar is extremely efficient and as stressful as such things are eg tribunal Amars calm but assuring manner gives me strength. ”
