FCSS continues to provide clients with tribunal representation when they appeal against their adverse benefit decisions, including Disability Living Allowance (DLA) benefits and Universal Credit. In 2024, FCSS worked with 4 different corporate law firms and legal teams and three Universities to represent hundreds of people who have been denied
access to the benefits they are entitled to. We represented clients in 83 tribunal appeals, achieving a 97.6% success rate in securing vital support.

Household Support

Hardship grants from one of our partners, One Newham. In this partnership we distributed £23000 household support fund. The financial assistance provided by local councils helped vulnerable households with the cost of essentials like food and energy. These vouchers were supermarket vouchers, energy vouchers, food banks, and other social eating projects. The aim is to alleviate financial hardship and support vulnerable individuals and families facing rising living costs.
