- Housing Benefit
- Jobseekers Allowance
- Universal Credit
- Industrial Injuries Benefit
- Benefit Fraud

The Government have made funds available to the DWP to send presenting officers to first tier tribunals as a response to the number of appeals that are successful. This makes it even more important that you are represented at your appeal.
