WHAT IS A WELFARE BENEFIT APPEAL?
You have one month to challenge any disagreements within your case the benefits agency involved. Challenging benefit disagreements involves many stages.
Stage one: The first stage begins with asking the decision-maker to reconsider the decision made. If your case involves the DWP, this is called the "mandatory reconsideration" stage. If your case involves in Housing Benefit cases, this stage is called a "revision".
Stage two: If the claimant remains dissatisfied after step one, you can appeal. In most cases, you have a one-month time limit from the date of the mandatory reconsideration.
Consider, in some situations, there is no right of appeal in respect of a decision made with welfare benefits. If you have received an unfavourable decision in your first appeal and wish to pursue the possibility of a request to the Upper Tribunal, Tann Law may assist with this under our Welfare Benefits contract.

What Do I Need To Do Throughout My Process?
One primary and essential rule is claimants should keep a clear record of ALL correspondence and interactions with the body of officials who make decisions on your benefit claims. These communications should ideally all be in writing. Concerning Universal Credit dealings, most interactions with the DWP will be through the online journal. This journal will provide a written record of what both you and the DWP have communicated to each other.
