Hi Melany

Is this for PIP? Either way, make sure you have looked at the relevant manual about telephone assessments. I know your partners is a video assessment but the sort of questions that will be asked will be the same.

Your partner can explain at the beginning that he needs help because of his condition. How much you are allowed to say will depend on the assessor. Unless you are an official appointee of your partner - some assessors may allow you to speak a lot and others won't. Keep calm, stay polite and ask before the assessment starts. They should be open if you have already explained it on the form.
