Hi and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

Will there be anyone with your son who could prompt him if his medication makes him sleepy and/or forgetful?

What to expect on the day is explained in our PIP guide, a home assessment will follow much the same format as one conducted at an assessment centre.

Your son can decide which room the assessment is held in and who is with him. No special arrangements need to be made - your son doesn't even have to get up and dressed if he would not usually do so.

May I suggest that you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future? This will allow you to return with further questions or comments about your son's PIP without having to start a new topic each time. We ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic as it helps us enormously - and I hope you will find it useful too

Thanks for your reply I will be with my son during the assessment will the assesor allow me to answer for him if he can't because of the medication he can't not take it as pain to bad but after he takes it he is very drowsy and unsteady
