Should there be a DWP representative at a tribunal?

What a useful site! My son, who is 35, is autistic, has hearing and visual impairments, is dispraxic and had a stroke 3 years ago . We have just had a judgement in his favour from a Tribunal - 10 months after the initial assessment.
On the Tribunal panel, which is, obviously independent of the DWP, there was a judge, a doctor and a worker in the disability field. There were no members of the DWP in attendance. I am surprised that other commenters have said there was a DWP representative at their Tribunal. Can anyone clarify this, please?

Thank you for your question. I am unsure of any answer to your question.

Greats news! Sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't a representative from DWP.

It depends on many factors, the claim itself or whether there is a DWP rep local.
