hi @maggy welcome to scope a good thing to do would be to ask an advocacy service so an advocate can attend the tribunal with you i hope this helps

Hi @maggy
The Citizens Advice Bureau is always a good place to start. Some people will have a paid advocate to support them through a tribunal, others choose not to and may take a friend or family member as support.
@CockneyRebel said on a similar post:"I would be very wary, if you have a good case you do not need a rep who in reality is little more than a paid companion. You are your best representative as the person that knows you and your problems best is you."Scope

Family member who can speak on your behalf - I took my husband to my tribunal and won and now 18 months later I’m handing my car back having yet again failed the assessment even tho my health is worse so I’m off to tribunal again and taking Paul with me - good luck

No one can speak on your behalf during a Tribunal hearing unless you have an appointee. The Tribunal will want to hear from you in your own words how your conditions affect you. If you take someone with you they may ask them if there's anything they want to add at the end but this doesn't always happen.
