Disability benefit lawyer at Fightback4justice!

Fightback4justice

Hi I'm a Disability Benefit Lawyer and set up and run Fightback4justice a non profit community interest group that offers free initial advice and professional advocacy in DLA, pip and ESA appeals and other disability related matters. We have a free adviceline and drop in sessions and cover the whole of the UK with this. We are unfunded by grants etc so if you instruct us to advocate in person then there are basic travel/admin costs as we are mostly run by professional volunteers.

We attend the pip forum in London, liaise with tribunal daily and DWP and see changes as they occur. Find us on Facebook @fightback or ring 01716727444 for free phone advice. As an ex CAb benefit lawyer we know exactly the best way to apply or transfer over to PIP and have an excellent 89% success rate in court to date.

Worth noting that the word lawyer implies a currently practising solicitor and infers a higher level of knowledge than perhaps someone working for example as a volunteer in Citizens Advice but, in the UK, the word is largely meaningless with all due respect to the OP. Easy enough to check the solicitors register to see if sometime is a practising solicitor.

One becomes aware from time to time of organisations who charge erroneously claiming free advice is no longer available in an area in order to secure business. HMCTS also alert when reps pass themselves off as being from other organisations (sadly it has happened). There’s more than enough case work to go round forever more but people on fixed incomes should at least be very clear whether high quality free advice is available in their area before choosing to pay. Obviously in some areas that may not be practical and there’s a meaningful gap which paid advice may be the only way to bridge.

Finally most advice organisations make no claims about success rates as high success rates can imply that an organisation is cherry picking only the cases most likely to win. It impresses some people but is not the best or only measure of quality.

You pays your money you takes your choice, so to speak.

i quoate them as i did look at their site and read the reviews from happy claim
ants but i also googled the address and looked on google earth at the building it was correct but i also agree there are plenty out there taking cash for advice or claiming exsperts

Depends what you need really. Variants of most stuff are available for free on the internet.

true but i found haveing it in one place or site rather far easier plus you can ring them and chat about how to sort out forms or just for advice ???i tried scope but could never get thru on phone hahaha and with cab and other welfare groups not doing so much it was worth the cash in the end

From what I have searched so far none are qualified solicitors with practicing certificates, the company does not appear under that trading name as being recognised by the Charity Commissioners and nor does it appear to have been registered with Companies House.

Presumably they are working under that name for convenience purposes thus hiding their true identity.

yadnad i am curious now ??are you a benifits adviser or ex dwp employee or just a claiment

There is a lot of misinformation going on here.

No claim is made that any of the staff have passed the bar exam.

No claim is made that Fightback4justice is a charity.

Adequate disclosure is made on their web site and they are a non-profit company limited by guarantee with the registered number 09486035.

Sheesh, people are quick to judge.

You take pot-luck with every advisor. There are no guarantees.
