Text which reads: Anita was pregnant and living with her partner and two young children in a single, damp hotel room without hot water. They had been there for almost a year and were forced to share kitchen and bathroom facilities with strangers. Central England Law Centre challenged the council’s decision to keep the family in unsuitable accommodation, and helped Anita to secure Child Benefit she was missing out on. The family received compensation and were moved to new accommodation that was safe and secure. #Advice Saves An image of: A mother and two children sitting on a bench looking out to the landscape.
Text which reads: "Before coming to the Law Centre, I had no idea whatsoever of my rights and the process I was supposed to go through. I don't think enough people do know, and so they go into legal proceedings ill-equipped. “Some people end up homeless because they didn’t have the support I had. I know 100% I’m in my home because of the support of the Law Centre." —Emmanuel, South West London Law Centres client #AdviceSaves An image of: A man sat reading a book at a desk.
Text which reads: Anoushka was experiencing domestic violence. Her immigration status was tied to her abusive partner and she feared that walking away would leave her in an even more vulnerable position. Merseyside Law Centre helped Anoushka to make a Destitution Domestic Violence Concession application, and later an application for indefinite leave to remain. It worked: both applications were granted. Anoushka became eligible for public funds to help her access alternative accommodation, and her future in the UK is secure. #AdviceSaves An image of: A woman wearing a denim jacket, sat down and clasping her hands together.
Text which reads: Daniel had severe medical issues arising from his former job. He applied for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) but was awarded only the lower rate of daily living payment. Daniel struggled with both the additional cost of disability and with the emotional strain of not being able to live independently. Merseyside Law Centre represented Daniel at a tribunal to challenge the DWP’s decision. The panel awarded Daniel the highest possible award of PIP with the longest duration (10 years). An image of: A man with a walking stick being supported by a woman.
On #AdviceWeek, we’re sharing a few stories of hardship transformed.
This is the contribution that Law Centres make every day to our country. It’s a vital public service, but government underinvestment is limiting its potential.
It's time to give the advice sector the support it needs to thrive.
