Appeals / Tribunals
If you benefit claim is refused or if the outcome isn’t satisfactory then we have specific team members who are experienced in supporting with an appeal. We can help with a mandatory reconsideration letter and if this is unsuccessful, we can further support with requesting a tribunal.
We help our clients prepare for a tribunal hearing, understanding what to expect on the day and preparing the submission. We are not able to attend tribunal hearings but will support you with the preparation for these.
