I have been appointee for my son’s benefits for years as he is mentally impaired autistic etc.
The migration letter was sent to me as his appointee and I filled it all up online yesterday. I was unable to verify his identity as he doesn’t have a bank account, credit history or anything.

I have received an appointment to verify his identity at the job centre. I have the documents they have requested.
Do I have to try to take him with me (challenging behaviour)?
As his appointee I am responsible for managing his benefits, he cannot engage at all.
Should I ask on the journal or just turn up by myself.

You can ask on his journal for reasonable adjustments to be made.
I think I would suggest what you consider to be a reasonable adjustment for him, in case you can influence the work coach.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1 -
He doesn’t need to attend - just you.1
