Housing Benefit is a welfare payment that helps people on low income or with rent to cover all or part of their rent. A solicitor in this area handles applications, liaises with the local authority, reviews decisions, challenges underpayments or backdating, and tackles overpayments. They may prepare and submit evidence, negotiate recoveries, and represent the client at appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) if a housing benefit decision is disputed, or in related sanctions or changes of circumstance.

“Lee and his team argued with DWP on our family’s behalf regarding whether my mother’s estate had to repay any benefits. The DWP were terribly slow - it took 18 months to get a clear bill of health. But Lee’s team kept us up to date, and got a successful outcome eventually ”
