Hello, I have been summonsed to an interview, under caution, by DWP. Would you advise me to take a legal representative with me or to attend without. This is my first experience of dealing with DWP.
Thanks for any advice.

Welcome to the community, @romac
Advicenow has some information on interview under caution and what support would be useful when attending one. I hope this helps!
Do you know what benefit this might be about? -
I've just spoke to DWP. They would not give me any info on what benefit they are investigating. I asked them if I would need an advisor. She said, 'in this case it would be advisable to bring along an advisor'. She was not forthcoming with any more info.

Just read 'advice now' and I think it has gave me an idea of what the problem is. Tom's story appears to be similar to my problem.

Sometimes it's not possible to give that sort of help on an online forum. Put your postcode into this link and it will tell you what's available local to you. https://advicelocal.uk/Chelseyrd91 said:Finding a Welfare Rights Officer for me please. I can't find any!
