Attending medical alone

We both have mental health issues and are neighbours and have figured out how to support each other on the bus and in the supermarket etc. I couldn't do it alone. But she won't come to a medical with me because she's paranoid she would be recognised and her own pip be taken away. I know that's unlikely but if we were both rational we wouldn't be claiming lol.
So I will need to take extra meds, get in a taxi and do my best not to vomit over the assessor. My point is, am I automatically going to be marked down if I make it there myself? It will be the only time I've gone out alone in over a year. It's quite possible that I'll be so wound up on arrival that I need somewhere quiet to sit for a while. A home visit is impossible because I never let anyone in and have aggressive tendencies during panic attacks.
