    HI,

    No, going alone will not go against you. They always prefer to see you in person so that you can tell them how your conditions affect you. Good luck.
    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.

    Hi going alone will not go against you, you are the one that will have to do the speaking and answer the questions anyway unless you have a representative or appointee. I went alone to mine and was successful

    Hi Poppy,  Thanks for your reply,I only mentioned this because when i went to the assessment i went alone. In my report Atos said i was well enough to attend alone. I didn’t know what to make of it
