HCLC News

We are delighted to announce that, with the help of students and pro bono staff from BPP Law School, our services to: a) help people with debt and consumer law problems; and b) help people fill out their Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Employment Support Allowance (ESA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) forms has reopened.

Debt and consumer service To find out how to make an appointment at the debt and consumer clinic please click HERE.

PIP, ESA and DLA form filling service PIP, ESA and DLA application forms can prove very difficult to fill out correctly.  We want to make sure that any resident in Hackney who is entitled to receive PIP, ESA or DLA doesn’t miss out by not completing the form properly.

To access the service, people who live or work in Hackney must call 020 7633 4531 and leave their name and contact telephone number. A law student from BPP will then call back during office hours to gather more detailed information about their query.  If suitable, an appointment may be made for the person seeking help with a HCLC supervised BPP law student volunteering on a Tuesday afternoon.  All appointments will be at Dalston CLR James Library. *Download a poster with more information about the ESA, DLA and PIP form filling service HERE.
