Dealing with social services, the DWP, employers and housing associations can often be overwhelming, particularly if you have no support or limited understanding of the law to help you challenge decisions.

We provide free advice to support you along the way in getting #accesstojustice and having unfair and unlawful decisions overturned.

We are also able to provide representation in Community Care & Housing if you are eligible for legal aid.

You can contact us on the following:-

Community Care - 0207 791 9800 - option 2 - advice@dls.org.uk

Employment - 0207 791 9800 - option 3/4 - employment@dls.org.uk

Benefits - 0207 791 9800 - option 5 - benefits@dls.org.uk

Housing - 0207 791 9800 - option 6 - housing@dls.org.uk
