Does anyone know if any organisations which can support with attending the WCA for universal credit?

Despite fitting the criteria for advocacy service they can't help - said it wasn't a priority for them and the wait would be very very long and it likely wouldn't happen. I feel fine off, they said to try another organisation and I've come full circle back to advocacy again, is there any help out there at all?

    There’s very few advice agencies that will attend a WCA with you now due to lack of funding. You can try this link to see if there’s any other advice agencies near you. https://advicelocal.uk/welfare-benefits

    If you prefer telephone appointment you can change it to this rather than appear in person. You will need to ring the number on the letter.

    Thankyou for the link, I'll ask for a phone call, I think travelling would be too difficult, they made me do that in the past and then had to cancel the interview after I got there because I wasn't well enough to continue, and that was with an advocate in the past. I don't know why they would put me through that again, it will be even harder on my own but I don't have anyone I'm comfortable asking, they ask alot of very personal and very sensitive questions.
