Peter Barker
Peter (nicknamed the "HB Anorak") has worked in Benefits since 1985 for the Citizens Advice Bureau, Westminster City Council and the Local Government Ombudsman, where he edited the in-house Housing Benefit practice note. He now works as a trainer, appeals presenter/submission writer and specialist adviser. Peter regularly presents at both First-tier and Upper Tribunals and he is well-known to Housing Benefit practitioners from his published materials and regular contributions to discussion forums.
Peter has earned a reputation for his expert understanding of particularly complex and troublesome Benefits topics including the decisions and appeals adjudication framework, property & trust law, and supported accommodation. His knowledge, expertise and courses on European rights of residence and dealing with benefit claims from persons arriving from overseas is widely recognised throughout the country as second to none.
In 2014 Peter came to national prominence following his discovery of two loopholes which allowed tens of thousands of claimants to avoid the Maximum Rent (Social Sector), more commonly known as the ‘bedroom tax’. More recently he has developed his widely acclaimed Universal Credit courses which explain in detail how this new benefit works for claimants. In addition to UC and complex subjects such as those referred to above Peter offers training across a full range of Benefits topics including dealing with claims from students, small business owners (self-employed and private company owners), and particularly courses on supported housing, human rights issues and HB appeals.
Peter has presented and developed hundreds of courses over many years and his analytical skills and enthusiasm for his subject are unmatched.
