But normally you can have anybody with you although I have had 3 face to face assessments and was given to understand that there was no need to have anybody with you - it's not as though they are able to do the talking for you.
If the assessor is male and you are female. That might be why.
Nothing sinister. It comes down to that vulnerable person situation.
Do they? I had one, well my wife had one who was utterly hopeless. I have mentioned before that I went to my wife's Attendance Allowance Tribunal appeal and as she could not go (due to health issues) I was advised to get an advocate for her. The individual duly attended the hearing with me and said nothing, I was questioned on behalf of my wife and the whole thing collapsed in chaos. At the end she walked out, said nothing to me and from that day to now have never heard anything from her.
