Social Security

   
 

6 King's Bench Walk specializes in social security work and in particular representing claimants at all levels. Claimants for social security are amongst the most vulnerable members of society and chambers has a strong commitment in representing their interests.

Members of chambers represent claimants at Social Security Appeal Tribunals (SSATs), before the Social Security Commissioners, and in the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords.

Representation is often undertaken on a pro-bono basis as most appeals before the SSAT and the Commissioners are not funded under the LSC. In addition to ordinary social security law, members of chambers take a particular interest in the areas of social security law that relate to immigration issues and status.
