    Hi I had my assessment 3 weeks ago and my mother was there.

    The HP took any input my mother gave into consideration and seemed to type a lot after mum spoke.

    So I would say yes. I am 23.

    Hi lilley and welcome

    You can certainly go and support your daughter. Some HCP's allow input depending on the circumstance but most want to hear answers from the claimant
