Team Building Day

This past weekend, we took our hardworking office Fightback crew for a treat as a team building exercise. It was so good to get together outside the busy office, especially as the girls have put in long extra volunteer hours this month to cope with the extra enquiries we’ve had.

Congratulations Sonya

Feedback From Our Past Clients

I used the VIP form library to fill out my partner’s Capability for work form and we got advice on the assessment from Sonya. With your help we got a letter today confirming ESA support group. A massive relief. I would totally recommend becoming a VIP member if you have to apply for benefits. It is invaluable and supports a worthy cause. Thank you Fightback

Fantastic organisation and would like to thank Fightback and especially Chloe for helping with a recent PIP review. Used their advocacy service in 2018 and Karen attended the f2f assessment. Contacted them 2021 to use the form filling service. Highly recommend this option as it helps alleviate the anxiety and stress of trying to fill out this form.No f2f this time, just a quick call from assessor to clarify a couple of points. Daughter has just been awarded higher rate on both, this time ongoing with a review 2032. Such a relief when the letter arrived, we both cried.Am convinced having Fightback fill out forms helped with the award. Definitely recommend 100%.

I used Fightback 3 years ago to help me with the transition of DLA To PIP.I ended up losing my car . With help from Michelle and Chloe the decision was overturned by the court. If it wasn’t for Fightback I would have thrown the towel in and just accepted what I had. They are a fantastic support throughout the whole stressful process.This year I had to send in a review for PIP. This time Sonya filled in the form over the phone. I was awarded the same enhanced rate on both without the need for assessment, and for 4 years this time. And thankfully I only had to wait 3 weeks to get the decision.I will definitely be back for more help when I have another review.Thanks for all your expertise and help throughout the whole process.Mike.

I was recommended the services of fight back from a family member, after running into a brickwall with a claim for PIP. I am so glad that we followed the recommendation. The staff are lovely, helpful, reassuring and efficient. They took us through the whole mandatory reconsideration, and tribunal application process giving us peace of mind in a very important area of our lives, during a time of great upheaval. I cannot praise them enough for the work they do all on a non profit basis. I was more than happy to pay forward and a little extra when the reconsideration was settled. I wish them all the best and would recommend them to anyone needing help dealing with the minefield of DWP.

FB4J filled in my PIP form for me in a PIP review. Lucy was excellent and the service was amazing. I got enhanced for both mobility and daily living and they were very helpful in alleviating some of the stress that goes along with these forms. Thanks very much!

Fantastic result at PIP Tribunal because of these guys; they really do know their stuff. If you don’t have the energy to fight DWP, let these do it for you.Not only did my son go from zero points to 25, he also got the award for an amazing 6 years too because of the work Fightback did for us.

Michelle Whitby

An absolutely fantastic team!! They helped me in every stage up to the appeal and helped me to win my PIP back! Every member is understanding and a joy to talk to or email. Responses are quick and all of their examples and leaflets are a god send!I could not have done it without them and I’m so grateful that fightback are available! They’ve kept my nerves and stresses calm because I knew they had my back! Thank you guys!

Fightback done my MR for me as in assessment I lost 4 points on mobility which I had been given previously. With the fantastic letter that was produced on my behalf I went from low rate mobility to high rate getting an extra 10 points instead of the 4 requested. Fightback are brilliant without them I would not have got this result. Thank you very much. I will send a donation so that you can continue to help others in need.Donna Phillips

I’m so grateful for the help and support from the amazing staff at Fightback. I changed over from DLA to PIP and felt extremely overwhelmed. I was only successful at the MR stage thanks to the experienced and professional volunteers who submitted my MR and kept me sane throughout!

Cathy Franks

The help and support from this team has been tremendous. They have kept hope alive throughout the long months of waiting for a Tribunal Hearing, through a last minute cancelled Court Hearing and then a very successful Telephone conference at home.As a family we fully endorse the professional attitude and competence of Fightback4Justice (Advocacy for Disabled People)The information platform is amazing. Everything in one place and not too expensive, and when your whole life is turned upside down by very poor decisions made by strangers, who often cannot see the wood for the trees, the help and support given by the members of the Fightback team is priceless.

Really helpful service from a bunch of angels! Kept me updated and kept me calm from the word go. Nothing was too much trouble. They deserve more recognition. Got the same award from last time which is what i didn’t want to lose. Thank you once again…

Amazing people and amazing service. Both times using their form filling service have had a 100 % successful result. An absolute godsend of help and support navigating the benefits system. Will definitely be back when I have to go through the process all over again. THANK YOU x

Our experience of Fightback is 100% positive. From online chats and telephone conversations with the professional team, to using the extensive and brilliant document vault and getting online help with our MR claim, the quality of the advice and level of service was fantastic. We were far better equipped to deal with the issue we had thanks to the support and guidance of the Fightback team. We can only give them a 100% rating, we would give more if it was possible. Thank you Fightback!

Excellent service! I have used Fightback and their VIP platform on two occasions and I can’t fault their service. Very professional and know their stuff. They have helped me on my first application and again on my review this year. The files on the vip site are so helpful and being able to call the team and get help immediately with the priority phone number is great. I would recommend 100%. I can not thank these guys enough!

Thomas Stevenson

Absolutely fabulous people, there just no way I could of done it. Very thoughtful and caring to your needs. Brilliant legal service all emails and phone calls answered with compassion and understanding.I will keep my VIP membership going as I’m sure I’ll use them when my PIP is up for renewal.

Fightback helped me get my PIP back when it was stopped. The team kept in contact throughout the process and were quick to reassure me when things went wrong. They were also great at gendering me correctly (I’m trans and my documentation was a total mix of genders so I’d understand any confusion). Honestly can’t thank Michelle and the Fightback team enough!

Rowan Ezra

09:08 17 Mar 20

This is the second time I’ve used this wonderful charity. Both times with much success. The team is very busy which of course can be tricky at times but if you can be understanding of that then you will be really helped. They know exactly what they are doing and using them takes away a lot of stress and difficulty. Traversing all the legislation of PIP is tough but this amazing team knows it well. A couple of pieces of advice, sign up to the VIP section firstly as you will be able to be in easier contact with the team. I then personally use them to fill out the paperwork for me. For me it’s a lot less stressful and exhausting for my brain. And finally get as much good medical evidence as you can to back up your claim. I honestly can’t thank the team enough for all their help once more. They deserve all the accolades that they get.

Absolutely amazing! Help me with my appeal, advised me on what evidence to send, on what to expect at the hearing. Michelle completed my submission and another lovely lady (I’m really sorry I’ve completely forgot your name) came with me to my appeal and supported me throughout! And to end it all I got my decision a few days later and I have won my appeal getting standard mobility added to my award! Thank you so much for the help.

This service is top notch. The people there are excellent, they know their stuff. They are very friendly, welcoming and calming. I used their services to form fill and do a submission for an appeal. I went from having 0 points on all in my PIP assessment, to being awarded PIP following the Tribunal. I can’t recommend their services enough, they took away a lot of stress and anxiety

Absolutely brilliant service! My autistic, adult son was turned down for PIP when he was assessed for a changeover from DLA. He has multiple issues as well as autism & we didn’t know where to turn as he clearly needs a lot of support. Someone recommended Fightback4justice to me so I contacted them. They were able to give us an appointment within a few days & completed all the paperwork for us to appeal against the decision. The staff we met were wonderful and made the form filling process easy for my son. He has now been awarded PIP without going to court which is fantastic. People like my son have enough problems coping with everyday life without the added stress & anxiety of losing essential benefits. Thank you for providing this service. I don’t know what we would have done without you.

Linda Wedge

00:12 23 Jan 20

This is an incredible service. I am more than able to complete forms but the expertise of this service to be able to extract truthful information from you and word it in a clear precise way makes an amazing difference. I also used the service of the solicitor to attend in this instance a home visit for the interview. This gives you reassurance and I am sure makes PIP aware youv are serious. The cost is less than a months PIP money and was an excellent investment. I genuinely can not recommend them enough. A well worth while process and I personally would say unwise not to use their fantastic service.

we would like to thank your amazing team for their help.we received the dreaded brown envelopes ,and we was both awarded Standard rate care and Enhanced rate mobility. (With a 10 year review in September/October 2029.) my wife had been on a DLA indefinite award of high care and high mobility. her whole change over has been going on since July , and mine since augustThank you so much for your help with my emails,and for the support you gave over your VIP CHAT LINE to me and my wife , and the personal touch of you phoning me for compleation of her form was wonderful. and my form was filled in on a visit to your office by Chloe,The assessors reports were accurate and no untruths in the reports. our assessors were friendly and sympathetic my wife had a home assessment and my face to face was at a assessment centre and my Daughter in law was with us on both occasions.thank you again for taking the stress of off our shoulders Terry and Carol

Thank you all once again for all your help at fightback4justice. It has not been straight forward appeal, with complications right up to turning up at court, but Louise was brilliant and the hearing finally went ahead. The original decision of no points at all was overturned & the young man was awarded higher rate daily living & standard rate mobility.Highly recommend turning to these lovely people for help, we couldn’t have done it without their expertise & genuine drive to help people. Thank you x

From the initial contact I made over 4years ago to my most recent claim renewal for PIP the staff members are so friendly professional understanding and compassionate. I cannot recommend this service and charity highly enough……what a difference to my life and that of others everyone at fightback4justice makes. Outstanding communication skills and knowledge of all areas of benefit claiming……thank you thank you a million times for this amazing service you provide…..sending you all much love and best wishes for 2020 xxxx

I would like to highly recommend fightback4justice for the wonderful service they provide. They have been a huge help to us since joining VIP2, the document vault, email and phone appointments have been invaluable for us whilst going thru the very stressful form filling and assessment process, especially when you are feeling very unwell and vulnerable. We shall keep up our subscription as no doubt will need their help in future too! Thankyou again to you all, you are an amazing team!

Deb Styles

13:00 23 Dec 19

I wanted to thank you for the vault documents, they have been such a life saver to me recently when my DLA changed to PIP and I had to make a new claim. I used the documents in the vault to help me complete my PIP form. I asked for extra time because filling the form in was slow going and then when I was asked to go for an assessment I followed the guidelines on your VIP vault. On Saturday I received a letter confirming that I had been awarded PIP. Just knowing that fightback4justice had my back if it all went wrong filled me with confidence. Keep up the amazing work.

Tracey H

16:17 18 Dec 19

The staff at Fightback are amazing. I have had their help on three occasions now, the most recent decision coming today. The money spent on my form filling for my PIP Review, done by the wonderful Katie, is definitely worth it! You won’t regret going to these amazing ladies and gents.

Heidi Bradshaw

19:36 03 Dec 19

I cannot recommend the Fightback team highly enough! When my son got his PIP stopped in April I didn’t know where to turn. Someone advised us to get in touch with FB4J and they sorted everything out for us. We got the decision reviewed before it went to tribunal and a very favourable outcome. Thank you so much, we couldn’t have done it without your tireless hard work and dedication.

Marion Horrocks

15:15 30 Nov 19

amazing to have these guys on hand via their premier membership a Saturday night a friendly message helped me and I won the award I thought I was due. Although not easy I got through the tribunal, which I’ve dreaded for such a long time. I have to say these guys are very knowledgeable, helpful and we won!

21:41 16 Nov 19

I used the form filling service for 3 separate benefit applications and met Sarah who helped me with each form. It helped provide continuity and consistency for all the different applications. I was granted a home assessment for the PIP application based on the details Sarah helped to provide. I’m still waiting to hear about the other two benefits but feel hopeful that Fightback can continue to support me to successful outcomes.Thank you Fightback and especially Sarah.

Once again this amazing organisation as helped us out. I cannot emphasize enough the great work these volunteers do for you. They take you through every step of the claim, appeal or anything you are worried about. They keep you calm and grounded offering up vital information you may not be aware of. Please use these people to help you too. As without their expertise so many of us would be in a much darker place. We don’t want to loose these marvellous people. Thank you once again fightback

I signed up to the VIP service for advice after a failed assessment. The advice given was great and helped to prepare a Mandatory Reconsideration which the VIP service checked and as a result my MR was accepted and awarded. I definitely would recommend this service to anyone who is having difficulty with navigating a very difficult DWP system. I wish I had signed up in the beginning of the application as it would have saved me a lot of time. Great service, many thanks.

Infinite Violet

I cannot recommend the Fightback team highly enough. After a previous reassessment took my health apart I decided to ask Fightback4Justice for assistance right from the start this time. In the first instance I used the form filling service and Amy helped me fill in my review form. It made all the difference to have someone with the knowledge that was needed and the ability to reassure me that everything that could be done at this stage had been done. Unfortunately it did go to assessment and the award was lowered which is all too common so I chose to use the VIP2 level access and also have Fightback prepare my Mandatory Reconsideration. I couldn’t possibly have continued without the help I received from all the team at Fightback. Katie prepared my MR and we were successful at getting my enhanced rate back on daily living. The best part was my award was doubled in length which goes a long way towards hopefully halting the decline in my health caused by the very system that was meant to be supporting it. I would list every team member but I wouldn’t like to miss anyone out as all the way through every single one has responded to my garbled panicked messages , emails and phone calls with compassion , calm reassurance and the knowledge I needed. My only advice to anyone negotiating the Benefits system is to contact Fightback4Justice.

Leni Gunn

20:22 15 Oct 19

I would like to thank Dee for overlooking my application from DLA to PIP 3 months ago. I received the dreaded brown envelope today and was really frightened to open it. I have had panic attacks galore waiting for the results and today I eventually managed to pluck up the courage to open the envelope and I have been awarded enhanced rate for both daily living and also for mobility till Feb 2022.I used the self help forms on your website to help me complete my forms and then emailed it to Fightback4Justice to check it for me.I can’t thank you enough for all the help and support I have received from your group, you are all amazing and do a fantastic job, I can now start to relax and hopefully some of my panic attacks will start to ease.

Hi Fight back I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you and your team especially Amy who did my Pip review In August. It’s only been just over two weeks I have received the brown envelope. Without a face to face I remain on enhanced care and enhanced mobility for ongoing period of 10 years. I can’t thank you enough you helped me last year with my ESA contribution based review and again i didn’t have to have a face to face and I remained in the support group with 3 years till August 2021. With regards to my PIP review you advised me to take photos of all the aids I have to use which my daughter did for me. Your advice and form filling is 5 star rating I couldn’t have done this without you and most of all it was all done stress free. Again thank you all for all your hard work you do for disabled people like me you are truly a God send and God bless you all x

I’ve followed Fightback for years because of the fantastic work they do, and when I needed help I knew who to turn to… I booked an appointment and received great help from the lovely Chloe who was understanding to my health problems… every email was answered promptly and every phone call was returned by a friendly voice. I was awarded PIP …. and I couldn’t of done it without the amazing Fightback team …. and when renewal is due I know I’ll be in touch again …. they give people hope and for that I’ll be always be thankful…..

I never leave reviews but I’ve received so much help from Fightback on the chat line, the phone and VIP email. I’ve amazed at the level of support I’ve received. I typed my own forms and got them reviewed by Fightback and it was a real eye opener, I was given so much advice. It has literally been a life saver. I couldn’t have coped without them. It’s so reassuring to know that someone who really cares is at the end of the phone and wants to help. Thank you.

Used there information when completing my forms for the transition from DLA to pips. Also used the chat facility and had a phone call prior to my home assessment. All of those I was in communication with, gave me excellent help and information, which helped to ease the stress. Haven’t been notified about any awards yet, but if it goes against me will use fightback to appeal. Will keep my VIP membership going and plan to send them a donation as they are purely voluntary and provide such an excellent service.

An amazing service. I used the VIP service when I received my PIP forms. I could not have managed without this wonderful service. The online service is packed with information and help. I also bookedFor one of the team to come to the assessment with me (there was a fee for this which was more than well worth it). I cannot thank this team enough for the help and support. It is a worrying and stressful time For most people but the Fightback Team are so supportive. I will definitely be keeping my VIP membershipGoing as I know this Team relies on donations to keep on continuing their work. Thank you.

I particularly want to thank Chloe for doing such a great job filling out my application form, and Karen, who attended my assessment, giving me the confidence to cope with the experience – she is truly wonderful. The service you provide is invaluable, and I really don’t think I could have done this without you. It is such a relief to know there are people as fantastic as you out there who can help us achieve the results we need to help us live with dignity and comfort. Thank you so much.

i cannot recommend fightback highly enough, these people changed my life and are all we have got now in the absence of legal aid, fantastic team, worth every penny, (cheap as chips given the service they offer). i wouldn’t have got through this without them, benefit now reinstated without having to enter the courtroom – many many thanks fightback, you are the best!

Thank you just isn’t enough for what fightback does for everyone.You completed my pip review forms and the brown envelope arrived today. High rate on both ongoing. The medical I had which was all of 5 minutes long, the assessor commented how well written the form was. Thank you to the whole fightback team.

16:13 10 Jun 19

I would like to thank Fightback for all there help following my review for PIP in which my daily living activity was reduced to standard instead of enhanced. I am a VIP 2 member and using the fantastic resources was able to to complete my review form also knowing that help was available to me at any time. I also used the resources to complete my Mandatory Reconsideration and had my information checked by Fightback and used the advice given. Following the decrease in my award they supported me in filling in my appeal form when I was actually wondering whether to bother due to the stress. I am pleased to say that following a phone call from an appeals manager at the DWP my award of enhanced daily living has been reinstated so I no longer have to go to appeal which is a weight off my mind. Fightback has been there for support at all stages and I thoroughly recommend the services they offer.

Sue Tait

10:38 04 Jun 19

Thank you Fightback. After being awarded zero points after the PIP assessment and the MR being rejected, seemingly out of hand, I was ready to give up. You convinced me I had a case and should go to Appeal and how glad I am that I listened to you. At the Hearing I was awarded 19 points! Thank you again Fightback.Catherine S.

Fightback have been fantastic supporting us throughout our ordeal over the last year.Ifroza represented us at the tribunal for P.I.P & was lovely & kept us relaxed we got the result we should have got in the first place, Elated is not a big enough word to describe how we are, the stress it has caused the last year was all relieved by having these guys by our side supporting us throughout the process.We highly recommend them big thank you to Michelle, Sue and the rest of the team you was our last lifeline thank so much.Never give up the fight we highly recommend Fightback4justice.

Thank you so much to all the lovely members of staff including Michelle, Hayley, Susan who have all been so kind and supportive and whom of helped to keep my head above water. I am pleased to say that my PIP award has increased from standard to enhanced for both mobility and daily living for 3 yearsI have had 6 months of waiting for an appeal date and at times just wanted to give up and ‘hide away’ but I had faith in the Fightback4justice angels and can now try and move forward with my life. I wish I could walk, I wish I didn’t have constant pain but I now feel justice has been done with the help of this fantastic organisation. Much love and respect to you all.

5 star experience again. Filled out my son’s DLA form by phone with Michelle, almost 2hour ‘phone call going into great detail about his difficulties. He was awarded & I am so relieved. The forms are long and generally quite depressing to complete but Fightback provide a wonderful service which makes it so much easier. By signing up to VIP you can access a wealth of information if you prefer to complete forms yourself. Their success rate speaks for itself, I would not hesitate to recommend these guys.

20:00 31 Jan 19

Fightback are nothing short of amazing. The work that they put into fighting to get what people rightly deserve is incredible. No wonder they are award finalists. To say they are going strong with not 1p of funding speaks volumes. The negative feedback recently received is not called for. It is damn right spiteful. The fact that someone is clearly out to damage their reputation and somehow trying to hinder the good work they do is criminal and nothing short of pure jealousy.

The team have given me wonderful support, and are patiently waiting for me to address my meltdown, before the stage for justice fight. I know when I’m ready they will be there for me.They offer a very professional service. We, the vulnerable, are so lucky to have such caring advocates within easy reach of us all.

I have used Fightback for many years now and I have recommended them to so many people I have lost count they are amazing. I think we have all experienced that feeling of complete and utter despair when the dreaded brown envelope drops through the door the not wanting to open it followed by sheer panic. One phone call to Fightback and you know that you could not of chosen anyone better. Their knowledge of the benefit system is second to none and with their understanding, empathy and gentle questioning you are guaranteed the best possible outcome in a system that aims to fail you at the first hurdle. Do not be misled by the fake reviews that aim to blacken the name of Fightback4Justice. Fightback are the true Angels of the North!!

Love fightback. They where amazing with me and helped me get what I was entitled too. Having quit the process twice before due to stress I know I couldn’t have done it without them. Perfect. Caring.

Fantastic, professional and caring. If you need any help or are unsure of anything they will help you through the whole process or complete the forms for you over the phone. Highly recommended and thank you for all your help.

I’ve been a VIP supporter for 2 and a half years and this year used the F4J team’s services for the first time. Michelle and the Fightback team are so supportive and knowledgable, just knowing they are are there if you need their advice is a massive relief. Thank you all. I’ve had good news about my PIP and will continue to support you. You do an amazing job. X

Review for Fightback Facebook Page -PIP Renewal Form Filling in with AmyDate of appointment: 27/07/2018 I would like to say a huge thank you to Amy and Fightback with all the help that they offered to me back in July this year with my PIP renewal paperwork. In May 2017 I was awarded PIP Enhanced Daily Living Needs for 2 years.My renewal came through in July 2018.I suffer from severe anxiety, depression, PTSD and have Disordered Eating. When the renewal came through, I completely lost it and was so scared that I would lose my benefit. People had mentioned Fightback to me in the past and therefore I contacted them. I am so happy that I did, Fightback took care of everything for me and offered me reassurance which was much needed. Fightback sent my renewal off immediately in July this year and on Xmas Eve I received the dreaded brown envelope, but what wonderful news I not only kept my enhanced Daily Living but they also awarded me Standard Mobility. I was not required to attend a face to face assessment. My award is till October 2020. The benefit system is a very scary place and I just think it’s so wonderful that Fightback is there to support people and they really care. I will definitely use Fightback in the future, thank you so very much, I could never even start to put into words the relief I feel that my PIP has been renewed. Can you please let me know how I can purchase from your Amazon wish list, I would like to get you a few things. Wishing you all the best.

Have been fighting for 7yrs to be believed about my health issues. Finally last year heard about Fightback4 justice, sent all paperwork, had my appeal last week and with their help I got believed and won my case. Recommend these knowledgeable, caring people very highly.

Big thank you to Sarah. I paid for the form to be filled out. Sarah was incredibly patient with me, and explained the questions in such a way, that was easier for me to understand. Would really recommend Fightback4Justice.

A massive thank you to all the Fightback team. My son had his PIP award reinstated and increased yesterday – Enhanced for DL and standard Mobility. The MR was so well written by Katie and Michelle and phone calls with others can only be described as being tremendously supportive and professional. Have been recommending you all to everyone who might need your services. Many ThanksFrances x

I had a lot of problems with my PIP claim. The assessment company were a nightmare and I felt like a wreck. I asked Fightback for help and Sarah was assigned to support me. Sarah sat in on my home PIP assessment. She took notes and reassured me she’d keep supporting me after the assessment. I would have gone to pieces without her as I couldn’t bear losing my Motability car. I got a great result and have kept my car. I believe nobody should go through the PIP or ESA ordeal without Fightback helping, from completing the form until you get the decision you deserve.

Eternally grateful for Cat’s & your help with my PIP Tribunal Appeal! Living 3 hours away from you I had never heard of you until a stranger on a Facebook illness page recommended yourselves & so glad I found you.Your website, telephone, email & services are fast, professional & superb & highly recommend them to all!It took an immense amount of stress away, which meant my symptoms didn’t flare up as much & so didn’t need to take as much medication.Apologies for the immense amount of evidence you had to go through & taking up 1/2 a filing cabinet…….I just couldn’t work out what would help.Best wishes to all,B 🙂

Got a form to change over from indefinite DLA to PIP in May. I contacted fight back immediately and booked an appointment with Amanda to fill in the form over the phone. It took about an hour. Very professional service. I would have struggled to fill it in myself so their help was very much appreciated. I received a letter yesterday to say I’d been awarded standard daily living and standard mobility. I’m not sure I would have been awarded if fightback hadn’t helped me. Highly recommended.

Lynsey March

I contacted fight back for justice to help with my mandatory reconsideration for a refused PIP claim.They have been so so helpful in helping me with what I need to complete the MR.I am yet to complete the MR, however whatever happens I will continue to be a VIP member and pay the monthly fee.For £4.99 a month this is a small price to pay for such a worthy cause.This is stressful enough fighting back but with their support it helps relieve some of the pressure & sleepless nights.

A Huge Thank you to all the team at Fightback. I’ve just been awarded standard for both elements of my PIP award and as it was my first and I started this feeling positively ill at the thought of it all, I am so grateful for the advice and help, with the amount of information of information on your website and the quick replies to my emails and chats, your calm approach is just the best as I have been sitting on the floor in tears surrounded by bits of paper! This will make an amazing difference to me and I know it will to others so I’ll keep up my subscription as much as I can. I truly recommend your service to everyone finding it really hard to cope with all the difficulties that they encounter just trying to get the benefit they deserve.

A big thank you to Jade for helping me to complete my pip forms, transferring from a lifetime award on DLA! She took the time to listen and suggest ways to word the forms in a way that I couldn’t. She was very patient and understanding. Today I received the decision. ….enhanced for daily living and mobility with an ongoing award. Thank you Jade and Fightback. Clare Brooks.

Chloe helped me with my ESA form, I got put back into the support group for 18 months this time instead of12 months. Thank you Chloe and all of the team at Fightback. I know I could never have got this without you help. I have been helped in the past by fightback ,as have my family and friends . I can not recommend fightback enough,they are friendly, professional and most helpful. Anyone attempting to fill out these type of forms by themselves please don’t,let Fightback help you the money they charge is very little for all of the help and advise they give to their clients. Once again thank you Fightback.

Quick, professional and expert advice. Had my PIP withdrawn 18 months ago. Fightback4justice supported me in court before a tribunal and my benefit was re-instated, along with back payment. Just had my review forms, booked telephone appointment and then sent forms to the office. Forms completed by knowledgeable staff. All the panic taken care of. Just now have to wait for result. I would always use Fightback4justice and recommend their services to everyone. Superb service with helpful, knowledgeable staff

Absolutely fantastic, professional service! I used the information on the VIP Platform for my daughters Mandatory Reconsideration along with receiving email advice from the VIP team. Today we received the dreaded brown envelope and my daughter has been awarded Enhanced in both categories! So relieved! Fightback helped to ease the burden and stress of fighting for what my daughter was rightfully entitled to. We would highly recommend to anyone dealing with the PIP process.

I received an esa capability for work form I was not expecting it at all. I have been sick for 15years approx. I completely lost it and panicked. I messaged fight back for help to fill in my form received a message within minutes from Lucy she made arrangements for me to fill in my form over the phone. When I rang at the time agreed Lucy made me feel at ease and helped greatly filling in my form over the phone. When finished she said she would get the form out to me the day after however I received it the next day. I went through it and she had done a fantastic job with it. I was so relieved it was done. Thank you very much Lucy for your help it was much appreciated. I’d highly recommend the services of fight back . I will use your services again xx

I knew the forms were coming and did not know what I was going to do. I had seen Fightback on my Facebook page and thought it would be good to check them out, they seemed to care about disabilities and what people were going through. I thought they were to good to be true, little did I know they were going to change my life. The hard work and dedication to others, when they themselves fight with their own issues, is beyond any expectation anyone could receive. They took the stress away when filling in the forms. It was like having a conversation and finding the form finished while doing this. Please, do not pass this opportunity for help, it will change your life too. I should not forget Cat, who came to my home and advocated for me. Her kindness and empathy I will never forget. Thank you to all who give of their time and change so many lives.

Anna Bowen

09:48 30 May 18

A fantastic job done thank you.Your services were very quick, polite and very understanding. I recommend Fightback 100% to help in any disability benefit claim they take the worry and stress out of form filling and helping with mandatory reconsideration and appeals. They all no there stuff and go above and beyond, not one of them take a wage and all donations are plowed back into helping anybody that needs there help.Fightback areSimply the best.

Fightback4Justice helped me get from reduced PIP and no Daily Living Expenses to Enhanced on mobility and Enhanced Daily Living Expenses by the Judge who within 5/10 minutes of entering the Tribunal (they had already decided before we entered the room I believe) this was due to Cat at Fightback who had produced the submission forms for their attention! Without Fightback not sure if it would have been overturned, I very much doubt it, however, I am extremely grateful to Fightback and will URGE anyone who is going through a similar situation to ask Fightback for their professional help. They should receive an award for being the most helpful and polite people I have come across and they show they care about you… Well done Fightback4Justice another Assessment maybe for me in about 18 months, so I will be using Fightback4Justice at that time!

19:40 16 May 18

Really great organisation, lovely people who can’t do enough to help others. Also legally qualified and really know their stuff. Would not go anywhere else for my application help nor advice. We travelled miles to see them and we’re greeted with a nice brew and biscuit even though we were early, nothing is too much trouble for this team.

Elaine Rogers

  🙂 Fightback assisted with my son’s work capability assessment for Universal Credit. I used the form filling service and Amy completed the form. This helped to take a lot of the stress out of the process as Fightback have a lot of experience about what to include and what to leave out. I got the result I wanted for my son and I highly recommend this service.

Sally Dace

  I used many of the example forms when helping my son move from DLA to PIP and after a long wait we got the news he was awarded pip for three years. The VIP service was excellent, I did have a few worries and questions along the way and their swift replies were always helpful. I shall continue to support Fightback to enable them to help other people fighting the system.

  My son is autistic, and his p.i.p review came March 2021. Of course i was dreading it. We had only been to court 2 years ago, so the thought of the process all over again had me on edge. My son moved from dla to p.i.p in 2017, in 2018 we won tribunal with the help of fightback and minimal evidence as my son has refused most medical help as his condition gives him anxiety when ANY attention is put on him. So…Chloe completed our renewal form, a huge relief off ny head, so all that was left to do was just sit back and wait to be called in next year for p.i.p process all over again. This morning…. i recieved a phone call…stating his reward will remain the same….FOR 10 YEARS!!! I almost dropped the phone, i asked the lady if this was a prank, she laughed and said no. After making her repeat “10years” to me 3 times she finally explained why and that my decision letter will be in the post. i still wont believe it until i get that HORRIBLE brown envelope, but Chloe, you are a star. I cannot thank you enough, thats 10years of peace. Thank you

  I used Fightback’s form filling service to apply for PIP for my partner and also the mandatory reconsideration. I have again used the form filling service for his PIP renewal. This really does take away the stress and the Fightback ladies are so lovely, helpful, caring and thorough. Thank you for all your help.

  Fightback are superhero’s! I have a very rare disease and had been on high rate DLA for 15 years, following my PIP assessment I was awarded 0 points and the same for my MR ! Fightback did exactly what it says on the packet! They fought for me, Michelle, wrote my submission,which was wonderful and the lovely Sonia was my representative at the hearing TodayI have been awarded enhanced mobility and standard care and I couldn’t be happier (Evan though I’m crying my eyes out !,) My whole family want to thank each and everyone one of you from the bottom of our hearts.xx Ann, Martin, Lizzie and Sally xxxx

I received award letter yesterday and confirmed that award staying same, however change is that it’s an ongoing award.

I used all your guides and info to help me from start to finish.
Also had Karen on phone with me during assessment.
(Karen is phoning me on Monday).

I always think of the worst and hope for the best and it’s worked out that way.

I can’t express my gratitude and respect for you all, compiling all these guides and info will be and are a gods send for many individuals and families.

You and your team should be very proud.

Respect to you all.

Hi I’m so happy to write this.
I Was so nervous to apply for PIP and have wanted to for years but just couldn’t face it. But after your amazing work with my ESA and now my PIP forms (both done by Lucy) I received the letter today saying I’m getting Enhanced on both. Thank you again for being there and making this stressful process feel better. It’s heartwarming to know we have wonderful people like you fighting for us.

Thanks
Scott

Scott

Thanks so much to all of you for your help.
I’d submitted my UC WCA form in July 2021 before hearing about FB4J, but used the form checking service to see what I could send in as additional info to update the assessor on my current status.
7 months after sending my WCA form in I had my phone assessment date through so was very nervous after such a long wait.
Amy’s feedback on my form was very helpful in giving me advice on a few areas I could expand on.
A call from Karen helped calm and focus me the day before my phone assessment. The assessor was very professional and thorough during my call.
3 working days later, I’ve had my letter confirming I’ve been awarded LCWRA. Not sure how long the award is for or if any back pay is due, but I’m so relieved! Hopefully I can now start to rest properly and maybe recover some health without feeling pressured by the jobcentre. Thanks so much to the team for your help. I will definitely be recommending the service to others.

Liz

I just wanted to let you know that I sent off my PIP application in June and had used your VIP service to do a digital version of the form as I struggle to hold a pen and write. I also used VIP platform examples and guidance, and Syd checked it all for me before I sent it. Karen also supported in my phone assessment, and made sure I felt prepared and knew what to expect.
Today I’ve had a payment arrive in my bank account. I’ve got enhanced on both. I’m in absolute disbelief and so emotional. I 100% know that the reason this has happened is because of your support and guidance every step of the way. The process is tough, but it’s made easier by your incredible service. I’m so thankful to you! You’re all doing such amazing work, thank you xxx

Natalie

Hi, thanks to your support and guidance I have been awarded contribution based ESA support group.
No face to face appointment or phone calls, they have done a paper based assessment.
Award has been back dated to the end of march. I applied for ESA at the end of June.
Had to back pay HMRC NI for 2 years but was worth it as I have gotten that amount back & more via ESA.

Without the guides & VIP email advice/check then I don’t think I woukd have had such a smooth experience getting ESA.

Thanks so much to all of you.

Annon

Hi. Haven’t reached out before but I signed up to the website when I received my pip review forms as I wanted to use the filled out examples on there. I did exactly that and received a letter yesterday saying I had sent enough evidence and filled the form in well enough they had managed to do a in-house assessment without even contacting me and have awarded me until nov 2026. I don’t think this would have happened without the help of the website as I wasn’t confident enough in my answers to their questions so just want to say a big thanks! The work you do for disabled people is absolutely amazing x

Annon

I’m so grateful by the way Michelle for you and the teams help. I used the VIP service got my forms checked by yourselves used the help on VIP and I have both awards finally too ongoing. Can’t thank you enough.
Many thanks

Sarah Stokes

I just wanted to say thank you SO much for your PIP review form service and the factsheets/examples that you provide. Syd gave feedback on my completed PIP review before I sent it off, and I am thrilled to say that my award has not only been renewed without any further assessment, but it has also been more than doubled in length compared to last time.

It is such a relief – the transfer from my lifetime award of DLA to PIP for my Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in 2017 was horrendous, with the DWP deciding to remove all support. That is, until Fightback appealed for me and I was ultimately successful in making a claim. Thank you so much for working your magic again – benefits like PIP really do make a massive difference to someone like me, who wants to get on and live as independent a life as possible in spite of their disability and the associated extra costs. The government are making this increasingly difficult to do and so your service really is a lifeline.

Anon

“ Thank you Syd!!
Got my white envelope today. Enhanced Both for 6 years.

(It was a PIP ‘Renewal’, but counted as a ‘new claim’ as I won at Tribunal last time.)

Used the ‘VIP Form Review Service’ and incorporated all the feedback Syd gave me to improve my application. It took 3 weeks from the DWP receiving my form to me receiving my award letter. Last time my application took 2.5 years!!
Shocked & stunned…..

This is the second time I have received help from Fightback.
A few years ago Michelle Advocated for me, with an Appeal to the Upper Tribunal, and attended with me, and supported me, with my (second) First Tier Tribunal where I received Enhanced Both for 5 years. Having Fightback on my side helped enormously.

Need a good cry now!
Thank-you Fightback xx”

Anon

Sorry I did try and do a Google review, but don’t have an account. So can I leave anon feedback please – thank you so much for all the support Fightback have given me and my family, after a long fight, we have finally been given middle rate care for my daughter, who had it removed by DWP 3.5 years ago, we managed to get a low award on appeal, but now on renewal we have got middle care rate until she is 16 (2.5 years award) . I had thought about giving up at times, but thankfully with Fightback’s help – we didn’t! They are brilliant and I would recommend!

Warm regards

Jenny

I have meant to email sooner. Just wanted to say a huge thank you. You looked over the MR I did and sent me some pointers and I went through all the information available in the VIP files. After sending everything off we received a phone call from the assessor to say she was looking at everything we had written and would have a decision later that day. She then called us back and he had gone from getting 2 points to enhanced care and standard mobility up to 2024.

I cant thank you enough for all the information that was made available, I wish I had contacted you earlier.

We had paid the monthly VIP charge and it was well worth it – we have kept this in payment. Keep up the good work.

Dear Michelle

I am so grateful to you, and all at Fightback4Justice, for assisting me with my PIP appeal. If it hadn’t been for your advice and encouragement to go through with the appeal I would certainly have pulled out. I was appealing against the award of Standard Mobility which had been granted by the DWP and have now been awarded Enhanced Mobility until 2030. To say I am thrilled is an understatement and I put this all down to Michelle’s assistance.

Thank you once again.

Anon

Dear Amy and all at fightback4justice,
Just to update you on my son’s mandatory reconsideration:
From being assessed as scoring only 2 points initially For making budgeting decisions, we are pleased to feedback that David was awarded14 points in daily living and 12 points under planning and following a journey (this is the first time this difficulty has been recognised in support of him). This means he has been awarded enhanced PIP in both Daily Living and Enhanced until September 2023
I would have loved to have been a fly in the wall as we got a copy of the GP form she sent to PIP were it stated David was unable to go out alone and all his other issues, which was referred to incorrectly in their feedback for their assessment and we highlighted the discrepancies of this.
Additionally to this your feedback on how to set out David’s MR and other advice was invaluable, we cannot thank you enough for all your support. If you would like a copy of our David’s MR for you vaults we are more than happy to share it.

Lesley

I was just like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and give thanks to Fight Back for justice for their help & support in my PIP appeal. Fight back have helped me immensely during my Tribunal Appeal and worked extensively, factoring in the limitations in time, in line with the statement of reasons in correlation to a unfair decision. The team are very competent at what they do and extremely helpful. The legal team put a great emphasis on identifying imperative medical evidence that pertains to the facts that supersedes the subjective opinions of the DWP. The indisputable facts was self evident, which constituted an award being warranted.
Fightback worked diligently in the pursuit and acquisition of serving equitable justice. I would definitely recommend using there services, even if you feel disheartened with a unfair decision. We never gave up and remained patient in the face of adversity, subsequently we executed with resilience, mental fortitude, determination and velocity. I just wanted to show my gratitude for all you’re help and support during this long process, whereby eventually the decision was overturned by a tribunal judge and the correct award was eventually granted in my favour.
I cant Thank you guys enough, I really appreciate all you’re hard work.
Many Thanks

Hi Karen & Amy,

I am amazed, but have received notification today that I have been awarded the enhanced rate for daily living and the enhanced rate for mobility for 10 years, to 2031.

Many thanks to you all for the help and assistance with the application. I really am surprised that I got anything at all after hearing of so many people being rejected.

best wishes,
Catherine

‘More good news after using our VIP factsheets and example review forms…with no assessment 🙂

Just want to say thank you I used your vip to do my pip review forms, they have kept my award at enhanced on both for 3 years minus a face to face, or telephone consultation or anything else, thank you so much, you are well and truly amazing xx

Anon

I am so pleased to report that with the guidance of your online portal I have submitted my husbands PIP Review and received confirmation that everything will remain the same for an extended amount of time. They replied 3 weeks later. Cannot believe it! My husband has been on DLA/PIP for many years and every review has been a total nightmare, going the full way to Tribunal each time to be awarded full award each time. Extremely stressful EVERY time! I live in Scotland and on previous reviews and transfer to PIP from DLA, we used Money Matters to help complete the forms. I now realise how basic there detailing was on the forms, even though we gave them all the information. Your site hast taught me a lot, so thank you so much!!
I will definitely use your services next time
Huge Thank you again,

Good afternoon,

Just a quick message to say thank you so much for your help with our application. We got a letter today confirming my daughter is getting enhanced daily living and standard mobility. Her award is for six years. This is excellent news and entirely appropriate, I feel. I couldn’t have managed her application without your files to support me and I’m very grateful for these.

Thanks again,

Kathryn

Hi Fightback team,

I have just received my decision letter and have been issued the same award, all without the stress of a second assessment or a phone call!

I just wanted to email and say thank you so much to the whole team. You all made the process very easy, were super helpful when I had any questions, and always got back to me in good time, even via email.

I massively appreciate the help you provided me and the work you’re doing for the disabled community!!

I originally joined for my son however my dr suggested I apply for myself and should have actually done so years ago. I did and was awarded standard for care and high for mobability. Now whilst grateful I was confused because my care needs are more than mobility. I have a neuro condition and have just been diagnosed with Pro-Longed QT waves. Along with many other symptoms I have memory loss which means cooking is dangerous as I often forget I’ve put the oven on or even to turn it off at the end. I set reminders but within mins I forget. However the DWP said I can use a microwave so I’m ok. I argued that a microwave isn’t exactly the healthiest and since nutrition has been linked with healthy living anything less than this is detrimental to our health. With meds having side effects of weight gain I def don’t need to be helping it along.

They also said as I can bath I’m independent. I can bath (cant shower as I can’t stand that long) but have to have someone with me due to seizures so not exactly independent is it. Not many have to have their child listen out for you. They said in the interview I didn’t have a noticeable tremor. Which I agree. For that 1hr I didn’t. For that 1hr on the video call I sat on my hand. I said I do have video documentation of it and happy to send this.

Because of this page I had the strength to ask for a MR and stand up for what actually is happening not just what they’ve seen in the 1hr call.

I will like to add that all the people I’ve spoken to at the DWP and even the interviewer were lovely. All polite and helpful. I just truly do think that they underestimated my needs but it’s now been corrected and I get high on both.

I now refer all friends in need to come to this page. It’s def worth the extra pennies for the online support alone and not having the stress of doing it by yourself.
