HI @bevvy1966 Welcome to the community I am a community champion here. Sorry I don't have the specific answer to your query but will tag in someone who will @poppy123456. I would give the tribunal court a call and ask the question

HI,

By a representative do you mean someone from an advice centre or do you mean someone that will just go with you on the day, like a family member or friend? There's a difference between the 2. A representative will present your case but anyone else will just be there with you for support.  Either way, i believe it doesn't matter if you take someone other than the person you put down on the form.

If this person isn't your appointee then you will need to answer all the questions yourself.

I'll just leave it has it is, but my rep cannot speak for me anyway, apparently

A rep is there to present your case. The only person that knows how your conditions affect you is yourself.

Ok, am just going to leave it the way it is, just hopefully my representative will be well enough on the day, has she goes in hospital on the Friday, only for minor surgery, she will be out same day
