Please be patient

We currently have just five team members in the office instead of our usual nine, due to unexpected illness and holiday leave.

At the same time, we are handling an increase in requests for free advice:

Over 130 calls A DAY for advice have been received so far this week.

Hundreds of emails daily

Ongoing appeal hearings and other regular casework (12 appeals this week conducted)

We are working as quickly as possible to support everyone, but response times may be longer than usual due to unforeseen circumstances. We will prioritise VIP support. Or jump on VIP chat.

📧 For written enquiries, please contact us at info@fightback4justice.co.uk

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this busy period.

📢 Important Notice 📢

We’re currently very short staffed due to staff holidays and illness, and we also have a high number of appeals running this week. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. 💙

✅ Please email us if you can rather than call, as this will help us manage enquiries more effectively.

✅ Appointments can be booked directly using the links provided in the emails we send you.

✅ VIP Chat is available Monday to Friday, 9.30am – 5pm. If you’re a VIP member, please use this or the other VIP contact methods wherever possible.

☎️ If you’re not a VIP member, please bear with us. We are ringing back missed calls and voicemails intermittently throughout the day, but due to lack of funding in this area, we can only attempt to call back once.

Thank you for your continued patience and support – we’re doing our very best to keep up during this busy period. 💪

Important: Benefit Changes from April 2026

The government is changing some benefits. Here’s what you need to know:

❌ PIP

Planned changes to PIP have been put on hold after public concern and campaigning.

Nothing is changing for now.

We are waiting for the Timms Report before any further decisions are made.

✅ Universal Credit (UC) – Extra Support for Illness/Disability

At the moment, people who cannot work because of illness or disability may get an extra £423.27 per month (called the LCWRA element).

👉 From April 2026, this will change for new claims only:

The payment will be reduced to £217.26 per month (about half).

You will still get the full £423.27 if:

You are already entitled to LCWRA before 6 April 2026 (this also covers appeals and pending decisions).

You meet the Severe Conditions Criteria (lifelong, constant, diagnosed by an NHS specialist, never expected to work) (the government has not yet confirmed which conditions will qualify).

You are terminally ill (death would not be a surprise within 12 months).

⚠️ Both the £423.27 and the reduced £217.26 rates will be frozen (no increases) until March 2030.

📌 ESA and Older Claims

People who have been getting LCW/LCWRA since before 2017 will have their rates frozen.

If you are already receiving the full LCWRA element before April 2026, you will keep it with annual increases.

💡 What This Means

Current claimants: Protected – your payments won’t be cut.

New claimants (from April 2026): Lower extra support unless your condition is severe or terminal.

⚠️ Act Before April 2026

If you:

Have not yet claimed the disability component of UC or ESA (new style), or

Are in the wrong group (e.g., in WRAG but should be in the Support Group),

➡️ It’s very important to act now:

Challenge your award if it is wrong.

Submit a change of circumstances if your health needs have increased.

Make a new claim if you have not yet applied.

✅ Doing this before April 2026 means you will be classed as a current claimant and should keep the higher LCWRA/Support Group rate.
