PIP appeal was created by philologus
We have got a date for my daughter's PIP appeal, 29.01.16. After 16 years of getting DLA they decided that she deserved no points at all after her ATOS "medical".
I have always attended previous appeals etc with her but now she is living a hundred miles away with her partner. I am 70 so would like her partner to take over where I leave off. In order to do this I'd like him to be present at this upcoming hearing to get a flavour of what goes on.
Does anyone know whether my daughter is allowed to take more than one person into the hearing with her please?

It should not be an issue, but I would check with the Clerk of the Court in advance of the hearing, their number should be on the appointment letter,

Hi A's Dad,
Yes you can take more than one person in with you. I have been to an appeal with two family members and you don't have to notify in advance. The clerk will just take your names when you arrive. They also usually ask your relationship to the appellant.
Appeals are actually heard in open court so in theory anyone can attend to listen to your case, but in practice, no one does.
If it was a particularly sensitive case, the judge would of course ask 'on lookers' to leave.
