An appeal hearing over the £20 weekly uplift which was paid to millions of people claiming Universal Credit during the coronavirus pandemic, but not to those on legacy benefits, is due to take place next week. One of the litigant’s involved in the challenge confirmed on social media that the legal team representing the four benefit claimants will present their case to the Court of Appeal on Wednesday December 7, 2022.
The post, shared on Twitter, said: “I can now confirm that I have had word from legal counsel today that the hearing in the appeal of the #LegacyBenefits case will be held on 7th December 2022.”
The legal team lost a High Court challenge over the £20 weekly Universal Credit uplift in February and launched an application to appeal the ruling soon after. In August, William Ford KC at Osbornes Law, shared the long-awaited update that two million people on older-style benefits had been waiting to hear, but no date for the appeal was given.
The right to appeal the ruling could now result in the four claimants involved in the case being awarded more than £1,500 in backdated payments from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) - and set a precedent for everyone who missed out on the uplift.
While there is no guarantee a ruling in the claimants’ favour would result in backdated payments for people across the UK also on legacy benefits who missed out on the extra support, it could trigger an avalanche of similar legal challenges.
At the time of the appeal announcement, Mr Ford KC wrote on the Osbornes Law website : “On 18 February 2022 the High Court dismissed the case brought by Osbornes on behalf of 4 claimants challenging the UK Government’s failure to apply the £20 per week uplift to legacy benefit recipients

And if that sounds familiar, it’s similar to the criticism Dua Lipa’s lawyers made of another lawsuit also accusing her of ripping off an earlier song when writing ‘Levitating’.Because, yes, ‘Levitating’ is subject to two concurrent song-theft lawsuits, which is fun.
