Making arrangements for the tribunal

If you would like a friend, carer, or relative, to come with you to your tribunal, ask them a few weeks before so they can make sure they are available.

If you need a translator or have any communication problems, mention this on the appeal form or tell the Appeals Service a few weeks before your hearing to give them time to arrange support.

It is important to plan how to get to the tribunal. Make sure you know where the venue is and you have worked out how you will get there.
