    This area covers entitlement to state support such as Universal Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Housing Benefit, Pension Credit and council tax reduction, plus disputes about sanctions, overpayments and benefit removal. Solicitors draft and submit benefit claims and mandatory reconsideration requests, obtain and organise medical and occupational evidence, liaise with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and represent clients at the First‑tier Tribunal (Social Entitlement Chamber) and on further appeal. Work is shaped by the DWP decision‑making process, statutory entitlement tests and tribunal case law.

    “Tim was very patient and happy to listen. Very forthcoming with assistance. Very quickly put my mind at ease - feel much more relaxed. Don't feel now like I'm going to be destitute and more assured on what is likely to happen.”

    “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. ”
