Help DEAEP win your benefit claim

We were founded in 2013 by Jayne and Nicola Linney, Tony Hamon, Wayne Naylor; this was in response to the cuts arising from the government’s Austerity agenda and the associated changes to the social security available to disabled people which created increased stress to claimants.
Since the closure of companies like remploy, cuts to legal aid and the increased demand on organisations such as C.A.B, support available for sick and disabled to assist them with assessments, tribunals or training has become scarce
As disabled people are disproportionately affected by these cuts; in some cases up to 19 times more than other benefit recipients: we responded by developing a training course to give disabled and vulnerable people a firm understanding of the procedures and practices of disabled benefits, medical assessments, tribunals and mandatory reconsiderations.
Though our main area of peer support is E.S.A/ P.I.P assessments and tribunals we have also helped numerous others with advice and support via the net and phone, we have helped support individuals at hospital/GP visits or anywhere sick and disabled people feel they would value having someone at their side to help them tell their story.
Our overall aim is to enable individuals to participate in society via accessing their benefit entitlements, this then allows participants to re-engage in Society; this might be enrolling in Further Education, or confidently enter employment.
We offer free training, up skilling participants to then act as 'peer supporters;' our “Peer support in action” course aims to enable disabled and chronically ill people to make positive steps towards the future and to train them in supporting others with simillar issues as themselves.
Our training programme has been specifically designed by sick & disabled people to enable them to develop the necessary skills, ability and confidence, to actively empower themselves and others
By utilising our collective knowledge, experience and skills we proactively work to ensure all principles of equality, and good practice are developed and maintained by all members.
This year so far we have helped 9 people with their E.S.A/ P.I.P assessments and 5 others with their tribunals. We have also assisted several people through email and telephone consultations and 8 individuals with their E.S.A and P.I.P applications.
As a result, these people have not only gained the correct decision but have been given an insight into how best to deal with these situations should they have to be revisited in the future.
D.E.A.E.P. has the advantage of being the only company that aims solely to empower the disabled community and employs people with personal experience of the difficulties that disabled people face every day.
Every pound will help a benefit claimant win what they are entitled to.
