Paying solicitor/legal to help appeal PIP?

More
4 years 6 months ago #252012 by K
After being declined PIP (from mandatory reconsideration) we are considering if it is worth paying for legal support to take it to appeal? I am very able and capable but this is something else. We have been quoted about £4000. Has anyone else sought legal help or is there an alternative from other organisations?

Many thanks for any advice.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?



You can contact your local Welfare Rights office, do an internet search for "welfare advice" with your postcode, town or county. If you want someone with more legal experience then have a look at the following

You can also try any charity that specialises in your conditions.

Make sure you have an understanding of what PIP you might receive if your appeal is successful, would you get value for money?

Can this person provide you with references of successful appeals that they have done for others?

Lastly, have you considered doing the appeal yourself? Many claimants do and are successful.
