I don't know what would happen if you had a panic attack but at least 1 or your parents would be allowed into the room with you for support. All questions need to be answered by you, so they won't ask them anything.
Tribunals are totally different to assessments and you will be allowed to speak and tell them exactly how your condition/s affect you. You should answer with as much detail as possible. In the room there will be a judge, a DR, a DWP representative could be there too and possible 1 other person.
A decision can't always be made on the day, if this happens they will write to you with a decision withing couple of days. Good luck.

A PIP tribunal hearing panel comprises a judge, a doctor and a disability expert. A DWP rep might attend but is not part of the panel.
The Disability Rights Handbook gives a detailed account of appeal hearings procedure, available from Disability Rights UK site. There is a charge for the Handbook but I found it worth the money.1 -
Hi @BrianaL, welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us. It sounds as though you're well prepared for your tribunal, and I really hope it goes well. Here is the latest version of the Disability Rights UK Handbook mentioned by Matilda, and you may also like to check out Scope's guidance on appealing DWP decisions. Please do keep us updated and let us know how you get on!1 -

I don't think the advice about appeal hearings would change much. The current Handbook is 2017/18. Is that the one the library has? The new edition is published in May 2018.0
