    HI,

    A solicitor is not needed for a PIP Tribunal. Lots of advice centre will help you for free. It depends what's in your area. Check here. https://advicelocal.uk/

    Thanks Sam, I will try and do it online, 
    I did have a solicitor for a D.L.A. tribunal a few years ago, but the place(Fulham legal advice ) has shut down now

    put your postcode into the link i provided and it will tell you what's available in your area. If there's advice centres available then you'll need to contact them. CAB very rarely represent people now. Welfare rights or a law centre.

    No worries. CAB will advise you but they most likely won't be able to represent you because of lack of funding.

    Welfare rights or a law centre represent people. Use the link i posted above to see if there's any of these in your area.
