Judicial review pre-action template letters and support.
The address for DWP social security pre action correspondence changed in December 2023. The templates have been amended and should be downloaded afresh every time you need them to ensure you are using the most up to date version.
Please do not send any of the CPAG template pre action letters to DWP Legal Advisors either by post or by email.
Please don't send these letters unless you have an adviser acting for you. If you are a member of the public with a problem you feel could be resolved using one of these letters, it is important to seek advice to confirm whether judicial review is appropriate. If you do not have an adviser to act for you, you may be able to find one on advicelocal.uk.
This list is being constantly updated, so please check back if you cannot find the letter you are looking for, or contact us to see if it is something we are planning to produce: [email protected].
These letters are only for use in England and Wales. If you intend to use any of these letters in Scotland, please use with caution. The pre-action protocol does not apply in Scotland, so changes will be needed. Find out more about some of these changes.
