What if your assessor turns out to be someone who knows you

Just a thought but what if in the event your turn up to your assessment and the person taking it knows you, I don't mean a relative but like someone in your own neighbourhood from years ago.

    I would speculate there is some kind of guideline related to conflict of interest and they would perhaps be duty bound to cancel the appointment and you to get a new assessor.

    At a tribunal I had it adjourned once as the GP on the panel was from my GP surgery.  They had to swap the GP to another one.

    I probably would be a little scared but still attend the assessment anyway?
