Essential to take someone to your assessment

Cucumber

I received a letter inviting me to an initial assessment to decide whether I will need a full assessment. The letter claims that it is essential that you take someone with you such as a parent, sibling or someone close to you who has known you for some time. I don't have anyone in any of those categories. Both of my parents have died as has my best friend. There is nobody else who I am close to and have known for some time. Will they still allow me to attend? I have phoned numerous times but despite it being in opening hours the recorded message claims that phones lines are now closed and to phone back tomorrow. 

Parents

  • I took my wife, who didn't meet me until I was in my twenties. It helped support, so maybe someone who knows you now?

    Also write down as many things as you can that you remember from your childhood; your sister might add value here, even if you don't take her with you. Take school reports and photo's but as others have said, if you just go alone, it shouldn't be a problem. They know what to look for and ask about.

    Best wishes.
