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?

@sue66 I'm sure as a conflict of interest they would not be able to assess you.
