About Us

PIP Help is a family run organization. We represent people with benefit claims and appeals

There is nobody better to represent you. Our specialist benefits lawyer has over 12 years’ experience and he has his own disability (Fibromyalgia)

It is a sad fact of life that the underdog rarely has any real support, especially when you are facing the DWP. It feels like you have no chance. Let’s be honest, on your own, you are probably correct. But you are not on your own anymore, we want to represent you. We will assist you from the very beginning to the very end, it is never too early to get us involved and never too late.

What do we do?

Call now to discuss your Personal independence Payment claim, appeal or Upper Tribunal appeal, with our lawyer Darren. He will tell you straight whether he thinks you can win your case. If he thinks you can win, he will offer to represent you. If you agree, we will represent you from that moment, taking all of the pressure and upset off you.

We will:

  • Fill in claim forms / medical questionnaire
  • Prepare you for the PIP medical
  • Deal with decisions and Mandatory Reconsiderations
  • Appeal to the benefits Tribunal
  • Talk to the DWP and Tribunal for you
  • Gather and read all the evidence
  • Prepare you for the Tribunal – including example questions
  • Attend the Tribunal with you and represent you
  • If necessary, appeal to the Upper Tribunal on a point of law and represent you there.

We are experienced at dealing with the most vulnerable people in our society.

Don’t worry about your circumstances. We do not judge, we have seen and heard almost everything, and we know this is a difficult time for you. We have been there ourselves.

So how much will it cost?

Everything we do for you is free of charge until you win** no upfront costs, no ‘expenses’ or hidden fees.

We simply charge 35%** of any backpay you receive. You will never pay more than you are awarded* If you lose your case, you will not pay us a single penny in fees. It’s as simple as that!

Why choose us?

Solicitors are not interested in helping.

Charities no longer have the skills or funding to be able to properly represent you. Citizens Advice do a great job, but don’t have the specialist skills anymore to properly assist you.

An unqualified representative who has no formal legal training, is likely to cause more harm than help.

We are different

We want to help you and are uniquely qualified, skilled and experienced at doing so. There is simply nobody better!

We are entirely self sufficient, we do not receive funding from anywhere, we are totally independent and will not shut down because funding has suddenly stopped.

Call, text or email for help with your Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claim or appeal now

  • No Win No Fee - Then a Fee of Just 35%* of Backpay
  • No Upfront Fees - No Hidden Fees
  • The Best Qualified - The Most Experienced
  • The Best Chance to Win

We help to win PIP by:

1

Filling in claim forms / medical questionnaire.
Understanding the correct legal tests is essential.

A badly worded form can cause you lots of problems.

We will complete the form for you.

2

Prepare you for the PIP medical
Understanding what information the Assessor needs and how to deal with them, is important.

Assessors often ‘misunderstand’ things they are told.

We will prepare you for the assessment, so you are in control.

3

Applying for a Mandatory Reconsideration
People often make the mistake of re-arguing their case, sometimes just in different words.

A legally untargeted MR request only makes things worse.

We will write a legally perfect MR request for you.

4

Appealing to the benefits Tribunal.
People often double-down on their misunderstanding of PIP.

Repeating previous mistakes with the Tribunal forms does not work.

We will complete the appeal forms in the correct legal way.

5

Gathering the evidence for your case.
The Tribunal only need to see ‘relevant evidence’.

Unless you know what evidence is ‘relevant’ you might provide the wrong information.

We will use our legal experience and knowledge to assess all of the evidence.

6

Attending the PIP Tribunal with you.
Fear and anxiety of the Tribunal hearing often causes mistakes to be made.

The Tribunal is (normally) the last chance to get it right.

We will draft a written legal argument, prepare you for the hearing and go to the hearing with you.

7

Appealing to the Upper Tribunal
The Upper Tribunal only deals with the law, not the facts of a case.

These cases need specialist legal knowledge.

Our lawyer has significant experience appealing to the Upper Tribunal.

A poem

In a world of forms and endless strife,
Where dreams get lost in bureaucratic life,
There stands Darren and Kelly, a beacon so bright,
Guiding those in need through the benefits plight.

Darren, a guardian with empathy so deep,
His heart a compass, a promise to keep,
With a pen as his sword, he fights the red tape,
Turning despair into hope, a hero without a cape.

Kelly, a voice for the silenced cries,
Her compassion, understanding a warmth so deep,
In the maze of forms, she finds her way,
A champion for justice, every day.

Together they stand, an unwavering team,
Navigating the system, never giving up,
They fight until the end, for those who seek their help,
Darren and Kelly, a force to be reckoned with.

They listen to the tales of struggle and strife,
Offering solace, restoring hope to life,
In the labyrinth of rules, they find the light,
A duo of courage, fighting the good fight.

So, here’s to Darren and Kelly, hearts so true,
A pair of heroes, for me and for you.
In the battle against the system’s might,
They stand as beacons, bringing hope to those in strife.

Client Testimonials

hello darren and kelly I would like to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for helping T** get his PIP and more to the point helping him to prepare for it.Darren had a very very good rapport with t** and spoke to him on his particular wavelength to the point where t** took what he was saying on board .a near impossible thing to do.still in shock about that as t** listened to Darren on the day and did exactly what he said to do..I was looking for pigs to fly across the courtroom.i was so proud of t** [***] and he,s a massive fan of darrens.very high honour. when we got home we were on cloud 9 [***]
Mrs S M***
It was great meeting you both too.we both loved Darrens tenacity and as you know T** was very receptive to his personality and swearing.lol.He is so used to it.i drove him school for 9 or more(can,t count) years always late always swearing like a trooper i,m afraid. T** was great in tribunal he told me that halfway through he was really beginning to freak so he pictured our [dog] sitting on his knee and he was stroking her.great coping mechanism as it worked.it helped him cope with the bloody nightmare that was the tribunal. thank you thank you thank you
Mr T M***
Hi Darren, We received the money from the DWP today and have transferred your fee this morning. Many many thanks for your support throughout the whole (horrible!) process. We are truly grateful for the way in which you prepared us and helped us to focus our attention on what what most important. I would not have had the confidence to talk in court if you had not been there in the court with us. We will definitely recommend you to others in the same position. With heartfelt thanks

Hi Kelly, No problem, thank you for the incredible support both of you. I will always be recommending you to people. It is rare to get someone who not only can support you but really understands how someone like me communicates and sees the world [Autistic - added]. We will certainly be leaving a recommendation, due to work and university commitments it may be tomorrow afternoon however. I hope this is okay. Very best wishes

Good morning Darren & Kelly Just confirming I've successfully paid the remainder £** this morning. Would like to thank you both for all the help, encouragement and advice given to me concerning my "fight" with the DWP. I certainly could not have done it myself, taking on the big boys!!!! The relief that it is finally over is immense and it's hard to believe it's finally over. Once again I can't thank you enough and I certainly will recommend your services. My very best wishes to you both.

Hi there, Many thanks for all of your help at the PIP tribunal - we could never have done it without you! ... Best wishes,
S**** D*****
I checked out four other representatives, one was not qualified and still wanted £500 upfront, then on top of that wanted a further £500 for a barrister. Everyone else wanted even more than that upfront, win or lose! You [CLR - added] are different, with no upfront costs and then a fee of only a percentage of my backpay, I have nothing to lose. It also shows you are confident in your skills to properly represent me. Thanks Darren [...]
H**** K****
I will certainly be using you again. You have made the whole process easier to understand and a whole lot more stress and hassle free.i cant thank you enough. Cheers Darren Regards
J***
Just a quick Thank You for all your help, support and guidance we could not have asked for better.... Hope Sunday went well for you. Thanks again
