STOKE-ON-TRENT WELFARE BENEFITS TEAM

We know that living with disability is financially challenging, especially if your health condition means that you have to give up work or reduce your working hours. You may also need support for daily activities such as cleaning or personal care. Or you may have extra costs to manage your health condition such as extra heating costs or special diets.

The Stoke-on-Trent Welfare Benefits Team provides a personal, confidential support and advice service to people with disabilities, long-term health conditions and their carers who live in the Stoke-on-Trent area.

We can:

  • complete benefit checks in the first instance to check if you are receiving the correct level of benefits
  • help with the process of a benefit application from the initial form to an appeal, should your application be refused.

We can get involved with any stage of appeals:

  • writing Mandatory Reconsiderations,
  • submitting appeals (SSCS1 Stage) correspondence with the courts,
  • writing legal submissions collaboratively with our clients and
  • providing legal representation at the Tribunal.

If you think we could help you or you need some advice and guidance, please contact us:
