You should not have to pay for advice or representation for social security matters other than in very limited circumstances.
“In England and Wales, "lawyer" is used to refer to persons who provide reserved and unreserved legal activities and includes practitioners such as barristers, attorneys, solicitors, registered foreign lawyers, patent attorneys, trade mark attorneys, licensed conveyancers, public notaries, commissioners for oaths, immigration advisers and claims management services. The Legal Services Act 2007 defines the "legal activities" that may only be performed by a person who is entitled to do so pursuant to the Act. 'Lawyer' is not a protected title.”
What you want to know is if he’s a practising solicitor. You can check that at https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/using-solicitor/find-solicitor.page.
