    HI,

    By a representative do you mean someone from an advice centre or do you mean someone that will just go with you on the day, like a family member or friend? There's a difference between the 2. A representative will present your case but anyone else will just be there with you for support.  Either way, i believe it doesn't matter if you take someone other than the person you put down on the form.

    If this person isn't your appointee then you will need to answer all the questions yourself.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    A rep is there to present your case. The only person that knows how your conditions affect you is yourself.
