Our E-Learning Courses

Our e-learning courses range from Introductory to Advanced. They are very different from other e-learning courses as they take a deep look into the benefit system, highlight the issues and problems that many claimants face and provide hints and tips along the way.

We’re always working on updating existing courses to ensure they all stay fully up-to-date with trends and legislation - as well as developing new ones.

We have decided to make this new one 'open access' as it is such an important topic.

Open Access: Successful Legacy Appeals Compensation Scheme

The Successful Legacy Appeals Compensation Scheme was launched on 14th May 2026. BUT the DWP will not be seeking out claimants that could be entitled!

It aims to compensate those who:  

  • made a claim for UC because a legacy benefit they were receiving ended, and
  • challenged the termination decision and had it reversed, and
  • were worse off on UC. 

Claimants that make a successful application will receive a one off lump sum payment which could be worth thousands of pounds.

This e-learning course looks at: 

  • Why the Scheme was introduced
  • The eligibility rules
  • How to claim
  • How much someone could receive.

Aimed at: front line staff who are supporting claimants.


It will take you approx. 45 mins to complete the course.
