what we do
Fighting for disabled people, inspiring change
Since 1975, we have been providing legal advice and representation to disabled people to challenge the poverty and inequality they face across the UK every day.
Our commitment to our work means that we want to show people there is a better future for disabled people – for themselves and for those they care about – and that we can help create this change with support, advice and training.
However, we continue to fight for access to justice and their disabled rights within the law and courts. We need your help to continue our work and deliver our services.
legal services
Our small and experienced team provides specialist legal advice and representation on various practice areas
Community Care
We can help challenge decisions made by local authorities and social services where they have acted unlawfully in providing or funding services relating to care.
Employment Law
We can assist with a range of issues within the workplace or with your employer, including reasonable adjustments, unfair or wrongful dismissal, discrimination, and harassment.
Housing
We can provide support with property related matters, such as eviction or possession proceedings, homelessness, disrepair matters, as well as installing adjustments.
Welfare Benefits
We can help with all types of benefits, including entitlements, mandatory reconsiderations and we can assist in challenging benefit appeals.
disability in the uk
There are around 14.1 million disabled people in the UK.
We receive over 4,000 calls and emails each year and we know this number will continue to increase. That’s why we want to help as many people as possible.
To do this, the Disability Law Service relies on grants and donations to ensure we can continue to provide support where it’s needed.
But, we need your help. We want to help create a fairer society, where communities and individuals view disabled people with equal respect and appreciation.
