PIP Phone Assessment Appointee was created by fenixfernis
I am the appointee for my son who has mental health problems. A phone assessment is scheduled for next week. My son doesn't ever speak to anyone on the phone due to anxiety issues. Does anyone know if the assessor is likely to continue the assessment with myself only or terminate it due to non participation by my son?
Thank you
Thank you

All you can do is explain at the beginning of the call what the situation is and see what they say but they should be used to appointees speaking on behalf of the claimant and their guidance does say that they should allow it.
