Must I have a solicitor?

Leaflet Sections

No, although you may be represented if you wish. The Appeals Officer may make an award to a representative, such as a solicitor, if you bring one to the hearing.

However this award is limited to expenses for actually attending the hearing. Any legal costs must be paid by you.
