I would believe this goes on as a norm. I think as well as the stranger doctor there assessing the claimant that someone as an independent observer with some rough guide to the interviewees condition should be also.As a double check.

People with Dementia/early Alzheimers often know something is wrong but dismiss it themselves until it reaches the point where they need some help to function in their lives.Hence seeing the Doctor late on from the start.Many haven't a clue as to pinpointing when the problems did start

Your edit: however Pyramid, near confirms what I said, you on the other hand were received it appears better than my neighbours friend was, maybe that was because you were your Mothers Daughter while the person with my neighbour was just a friend,one of his old workmates.
I think in your edit:,you bear out my point in part that its wise to have someone with in any event,actually in the room for the assessment not just with you at wherever these things take place.
I'd like to ask how you seem to be so certain that 'I was received better than anyone else'. I didn't intimate that - I said that I personally didn't find it intrusive - neither did I find it intrusive when asked about very and intimate personal matters - I didn't find it intrusive because I knew they had to ask - in order to ascertain.
