I represented myself but I took someone with me who knows about how my life is, I also had a lift that dropped me outside and parked further away til I was ready, it is not as bad as it seems, they just go threw what you've already written on forms and sometimes just want to explain in depth, good luck

Hi @simon_cut
Do you have anyone to go along with you just for moral support?
We have a video here about what to do on the day of your hearing

I went to my appeal with my Daughter and i found the judge doctor and disability expert really nice. I won my appeal just be yourself and answer the questions in your own way. Is there anyone that could drive you to the court.
I wish you luck
