    Hi

    You must attend the appointment or you will be sanctioned as you said in your question.

    PIP is a completely separate benefit and attending this appointment will have no effect on whether or not PIP is allowed.

    If you need accompanying to the appointments then you can be as you know and they're not that often in WRAG ie not weekly/daily etc and don't last all day. I would hope your sister or another friend or family member could manage a couple if hours given how important they are.

    All the best

    Hi,

    Yes you will be sanctioned if you don't attend the WFI. Do you have a friend or other family member that can go with you?
