Hi and welcome,When is your appeal hearing, have you had a date yet? This link may help you find what's local to you, start by looking for welfare rights or a law centre, both will represent. https://advicelocal.uk/Even with representation you will still need to speak for yourself, the panel will want to hear from you how your conditions affect you.

Thank you for the link . No I dont have a hearing date yet. I've only just started this part of the process ie appeal. Even though I'm not a confident person I do understand that I would also have to speak at the appeal. Yes , the first thing I did was contact the law society in my area0
