If you are a Disabled person who is affected by the UK Labour Govt's Legislations, whose treatment is deemed a violation of your human rights, then do NOT think twice about taking legal action . If every Disabled person they try to intimidate and bully brings a legal case against them for violating their human rights, the money they would require to defend so many cases would be immense as well as the costs of funding the Legal Aid . As a disabled person facing a human rights case, you can access legal Aid through Civil Legal Advice, which can grant immediate access to a specialist discrimination lawyer if eligible. You can also seek help from organisations like the Disability Law Service or Disability Justice Project for free legal advice and information.
Civil Legal Advice:
If you believe you've been discriminated against or your human rights are at risk, you can call the Civil Legal Advice telephone gateway at 0345 345 4 345.
Eligibility:
They will assess your case and determine if you are eligible for legal aid, which covers costs like legal advice, representation, evidence gathering, and court fees.
Potential for Contribution:
Depending on your income and savings, you might be asked to contribute towards your legal costs, which your solicitor will explain.
Exceptional Case Funding (ECF):
If your case is not typically eligible for legal aid but your human rights are at risk, you might be able to apply for ECF.
