    They do not represent anyone at Tribunal now and haven't for quite sometime. Look for something like Welfare rights or a law cemtre. Use the link i posted above by putting your postcode in and dropping the box down to welfare benefits.

    Welcome to the community @yorkshire_pudding25 :) 

    I'm not a Yorkshire native, but I do live in Yorkshire now! I'm also a fan of a Yorkshire pud.

    OP, be aware that you don't need to have a representative so don't get worried if you can't get one. Getting help to assist you prepare for a tribunal may be helpful but at the hearing the tribunal will want to talk to you rather than your representative even if you have one. If you don't get a representative having a friend or family member with you may be helpful to calm you.

    It's perfectly normal to feel anxious about it @tishka2008. Many people find that it's not as scary as they expected it to be :) 

    Citizens Advice have some information about what to expect at a tribunal, which you might find helpful to read.

    Also, I'm about to send you an email about your username, so please do keep an eye out for that if you can :)
