Benefits & Social Welfare

Hardwicke Public’s barristers are regularly instructed in claims related to all types of welfare benefits.

Our work includes: local authorities’ liability to provide support to asylum seekers, council tax exemptions and benefit, disability living allowance, housing benefit, income support, jobseeker’s allowance and tax credits.

Such claims may involve points of legal principle, and have major implications for public spending.

As well as providing accurate and responsive advice, we offer an effective advocacy service. Our barristers appear regularly before the Appeals Service Tribunals, the Social Security Commissioner and the Court of Appeal. They also appear regularly before the Administrative Court.

The Senior Practice Manager for benefits and welfare work is Daniel Kemp, who can be reached on 020 7691 0003 or email daniel.kemp@hardwicke.co.uk. Alternatively, please call any of our friendly and professional practice managers on 020 7242 2523 or email enquiries@hardwicke.co.uk.
