Neil Bateman LLB, Dip SA, CQSW, Dip MS, MEWI

I specialise in welfare rights and social policy issues solving benefit problems. On this website you can find out about my services, training courses and my publications. I’m always happy to discuss your requirements without any obligation.

I have over 30 years experience of welfare rights work – as a front-line adviser as well as an advocate, trainer, author, strategic manager and policy adviser. I have represented claimants at all levels of the appellate system and have also been involved in judicial reviews of social security and related matters. I am also very experienced in quality audits and strategies for social welfare law and advice services.

I am working towards becoming a greener business – recycling all waste, using recycled products, using energy-efficient appliances, electricity from non-carbon sources and minimising my use of cars and planes.
