Can't find anyone to go with me to assessment

Will he be required to give any information about himself and our living arrangements?

They will ask who he is, but there is no reason for them to ask for additional information

If he doesn't say anything to the contrary, will they take that as a sign that he agrees with everything I say?

I think that is a reasonable assumption

If he does say anything, will they make a note of it?

Yes they should

Will he be expected to contribute in any way to the assessment?

If he doesn't say anything during the assessment he may be asked if he has any comments at the end, but this is not guaranteed

I think he's worried that our relationship might be put into question as we still live in the same house even though one of the reasons I've had to claim ESA is because of the breakdown of our marriage.

It's your assessment and the assessor will only be interested in your problems, they are only interested in your entitlement to PIP, they have nothing to do with ESA.

I told him what you had said Gordon about it not affecting the outcome of the assessment but I told him I'd ask on here to put his mind at rest.

No problem
