Hi P,
o.k. I see !
Your support/ companion should be allowed to be present with you, and they can take notes of the meeting, that is your choice to make.
The Assessor, would normally direct all questions to you (the claimant) although your companion may be allowed some input if they are your carer, etc, and know how your disability affects you on a day to day basis.
What to expect can be read from Page 70 of our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page)

Can the support wait outside or go in, can I choose and will it make a difference about asking the support questions if the interviewer chooses to do so.
