Welfare Benefits Law

Newcastle Law centre provides expert legal advice in respect of Social Security Law. Our grant from the Newcastle Fund enables us to provide this advice to people who reside in Newcastle City area. 

We can help you:

• If your benefit has been stopped or suspended;
• If you are told you have an overpayment of benefit to repay;
• If your disability benefit is stopped or you are told you are fit to work;
• If you want to claim backdated benefits;
• If you are refused a grant or loan from the social fund

We provide specialist representation to vulnerable communities such as those suffering from mental health problems. We have a 98% success rate in respect of all appeals that we act in. Further we provide second tier advice to other professionals in respect of complex cases such as overpayments:
