PIP tribunal - representing an absent claimant was created by alisp

Hello. My caree suffers from ME/chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and will be unable to attend her PIP tribunal. However, I understand that paper-based appeals are less likely to be successful. As her main carer, I would be happy to attend the tribunal on her behalf and represent her/answer what questions I can if this would help.

Is this acceptable? I can't quite work it out. If so, has anyone else done it, and do you have any useful hints and recommendations for me, please?

Thank you.

Carer for a long-term ME/CFS sufferer

It may be possible, your caree will need to contact the Tribunal Service to see whether the Judge responsible for their appeal is willing to accept your substituting for them at the hearing.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
