"ask if you can make an audio recording of the assessment - you must ask to do this before your assessment and ask the centre about the rules for using recording equipment"

It's not illegal but why would you want to ?
Only the computer form goes to the DWP and if you search on this forum you'll find that they often take very little notice of it in forming their opinions anyway.
If the contractor found out and returned your case to the DWP where would you be then?
They do allow recording you know ?
They require a special dual media machine though.
Secret with potential risks or openly with special kit. The choice is yours.

As @Markmywords says - you need special recording equipment. It's a shame it's not easier to hire - I imagine lots of people would like to record their assessment.
