Disability ExpertFind what you may be entitled to

About Disability Expert

Disability Expert helps you find what you may be entitled to in the UK, in plain English, and then find a specialist if you need advice. It is being built for the domain disabilityexpert.co.uk.

The core of the site is an entitlements finder and a set of guides, last checked on 10 November 2026. It currently covers 70 entitlements, each checked against official sources. The Find an expert directory lists 62 organisations. We list organisations, not individual practitioners, and we do not publish personal contact details.

How we check entitlements

  • Amounts and rules are taken from official sources, including GOV.UK, the DWP benefit and pension rates 2026 to 2027 (updated 16 February 2026), Social Security Scotland and the Scottish Government up-rating for 2026 to 2027, nidirect, the Welsh Government, Ofgem, Ofwat, CCW, Ofcom, National Rail and the official pages of each scheme.
  • If we could not verify an amount or a rule, we left it blank or told you to check the official source, rather than guessing.
  • The finder groups results into “because of your award” and “worth checking”. That is a reading of official passporting and eligibility rules, not a decision that you will get the payment.
  • We recheck when official rates are published, usually each April, and when a scheme announces a change.

How we check expert listings

  • Solicitor firms and law centres with legal aid work were checked against the Legal Aid Agency directory of providers updated on 4 November 2026, for welfare benefits, community care, education, discrimination or public law as stated on each listing.
  • Where we recorded an SRA organisation number, we link to the Solicitors Regulation Authority register.
  • Independent occupational therapy organisations are listed only as organisations. We link to the HCPC register and, where useful, the RCOT independent practice directory.
  • If we could not verify a fact, we left the field blank rather than guess.

What a listing or a result is not

A finder result is not an eligibility decision. A listing is not a recommendation, a ranking, or a guarantee that the organisation can take your case. A paid featured listing or sponsorship, when we offer that later, will be clearly labelled as paid and will never be described as a quality mark.
