Specialists in Welfare Benefits Law

Specialist Solicitor is a niche legal practice dedicated to Welfare Benefits and Social Security law. With over 25 years of legal experience, we provide expert advice and representation to individuals across England and Wales in complex benefit disputes and investigations.

We regularly assist clients with:

• Personal Independence Payment (PIP) mandatory reconsiderations and tribunal appeals

• Universal Credit disputes, overpayments and capital investigations

• DWP fraud investigations and Interviews Under Caution (IUC)

• Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit disputes

• Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and Pension Credit matters

• Upper Tribunal appeals involving errors of law

• Advice on trusts, deprivation of capital and benefit entitlement

Every case is handled personally by an experienced solicitor rather than being delegated to a case handler. We focus on providing clear advice, practical solutions and robust representation, whether negotiating with the DWP, preparing detailed written submissions or representing clients before the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal.

We act for clients throughout England and Wales and offer remote consultations by telephone and video conference, making specialist welfare benefits advice accessible wherever you are located.

Our aim is to provide straightforward, high-quality legal advice that gives clients the best possible opportunity of achieving a successful outcome.
