Should there be a DWP representative at a tribunal?

What a useful site! My son, who is 35, is autistic, has hearing and visual impairments, is dispraxic and had a stroke 3 years ago . We have just had a judgement in his favour from a Tribunal - 10 months after the initial assessment.
On the Tribunal panel, which is, obviously independent of the DWP, there was a judge, a doctor and a worker in the disability field. There were no members of the DWP in attendance. I am surprised that other commenters have said there was a DWP representative at their Tribunal. Can anyone clarify this, please?

Thank you for sharing and joining. Good to hear you were successful in your sons tribunal.
Thank you for your question. I am unsure of any answer to your question.
There are members of our community or members of our team. Who can advise. Hopefully be in touch.
We are a supportive, friendly community. Please ask if we can advise on anything.
Have a look at our information on Talk about Specific conditions may be of use to you.
Hope that helps.
