Volunteer law students work with the Benefits team to run appeals to the First-tier Tribunal against decisions on disability and sickness benefits. This allows many people who have no statutory right to representation to exercise their right to challenge decisions made about them.
Volunteers are required to attend a 4 hour session once per week for at least 40 out of the first 52 weeks on the project, and be available for 12 of the 18 weeks between June and September 2025. Volunteers are required to attend their sessions at the Law Centre in person.
