Providing Legal Support

We provide legal support for benefit claimants in the UK accessing PIP, ESA, DLA and Attendance Allowance.

Help With My Benefit Appeal offers specialised legal support to individuals who have had their claims for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) denied by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This support is crucial, as navigating the complexities of the benefits system can be daunting, especially for those already facing challenges due to their disabilities or health conditions.

The Appeals Process

1. Initial Consultation and Assessment: Our service begins with an initial consultation to assess the specifics of your case. This involves understanding why your claim was denied and reviewing any medical evidence or documentation provided.

2. Guidance Through Mandatory Reconsideration: Our benefits experts assist in crafting a compelling request for Mandatory Reconsideration, ensuring all relevant evidence is presented and the argument against the decision is clearly articulated.

3. Preparation for Tribunal: If the case proceeds to a tribunal,we help in preparing the case. This includes gathering additional evidence, preparing legal arguments, and possibly arranging for expert testimonies.

4. Representation at the Tribunal: In many cases, having legal representation at the tribunal can significantly increase the chances of a successful appeal. The service would provide experienced representatives to argue the case on your behalf.

5. Post-Tribunal Support: Regardless of the tribunal's decision, we are able to offer post-case care including guidance on next steps and additional appeals if necessary.

You are entitled to an appeal in court if the DWP has rejected your benefits application.

The DWP would have you believe that they lose 70% of PIP appeals because the claimant produces “new evidence” for the Tribunal.

The DWP’s own statistics show this to be a lie.

They say that 59% of appeals are won by the claimant because the tribunal reached a different conclusion based on the same facts, with new written evidence making a difference in just 1% of cases.

The same statistics show that in 2021 the reasons that claimants won their PIP appeal were:

• Cogent oral evidence: 32%
• Reached a different conclusion on substantially the same facts: 59%

What is “cogent oral evidence”? This means that the tribunal asked detailed questions and the claimant’s answers were detailed, consistent and credible.

If you have prepared well for the Tribunal and know what is going to happen, what kinds of questions you may be asked and that you need to try to give clear, accurate and to the point answers then you have a really good chance of getting an award.

And this is precisely what we do.
