im looking for advice on how to find a local free law firm who can help me with my appeal as im finding it difficult knowing where to start

Hi @cloe1

A good place to start is the Law Centres

We have a lot of information about appeals here, let us know if you have any particular questions.

there doesnt seem to be any near me what else can i do because my local citizens advice arent being helpful with esa appeal and so i dont really want to use them if there are other places that can help i live in maidenhead

Oh that is a shame, is this for PIP?

cloe1 · January 2018

yes with the esa one they did a letter to me saying more new evidence was needed and when i got my pratice manager from my doctors to call them he dint know what more was needed

So with ESA did you have to appeal too? What was the outcome of that?

cloe1 · January 2018

still waiting for tribunal

and what doesnt help is that know one medical wants to help me even though they agree with me that i shouldnt be in this situation

There is lots of information here about PIP appeals, is there anyone who could support you with this? A family member or friend?

cloe1 · January 2018

there is but how am i meant to magic new medical evidence to help

cloe1 · January 2018

i looked at the appeals info do jobcentre plus have people who can deal with appeals

Sam_Scope · January 2018

Perhaps you need to go and see your doctor again to explain more? Do you see any other medical people? Consultants/nurses etc?

ive been trying to get help with my conditions since november but dont seem to be getting anywhere and my doctors did a letter last year saying how i struggle to do day to day activities

cloe1 · January 2018

and i was under an ot last year who did a massive report saying how i would struggle to hold down a job but the problem with that service is that once they helped me they close my case

You could try calling the Scope helpline on 0808 800 3333 and speaking to one of our helpline staff?

cloe1 · January 2018

Sam_Scope · January 2018
