Hi Kendod666, Sounds like a phone assessment suits you best, you can have someone with you if you wish and you can record the assessment.
If you wish you can also request it is recorded by the DWP, if it isn't already, though this would change the date of your assessment.
What would help is being as prepared as you can. Having your renewal form in front of you, reading the guides on Benefits and work, writing down what you might need to say, especially if you have memory problems.
Hope this helps
