Recording.

Hi has anyone tape recorded their face to face. Is it a good idea to record it or can it be used against you?

Hopefully they will sort something inhouse, because this is just going to cost even more money and it won't stop claimants appealing if they feel they should have scored more. Only the lies in theory.
Have the assessments actually saved money, no, so why don't they just scrap them.
If any government no matter what flag they work under decided to hand over cash to every Tom **** & Harry who said that they were disabled there would be an election!
Would you say that there would be no abuse?
Currently people are claiming money set aside for the Grenfell Tower tragedy victims saying that they were in the tower when in fact they were miles away.
You don't need to be a maths genius to work out that's a hell of a lot of tax payers money. And they haven't cut back like they thought because of the court cases and stuff ups.
Did we have posts on here about DLA like we are pip and esa?
Esa is designed to be hard to get as I think pip is.
To get DLA I had to apply 3 times over the course of 4 years. When I eventually got it it was only backdated 18 months (to the date of the final claim) and not 4 years. Also I was not allowed to back date the ESA payments at all. I think they saved something like £20,000 to £30,000 in total of benefits that I should have had. If they do that to everyone it adds up to a massive saving on the benefits cost.

I am owed over £20,000 AND the DWP have actually said as much to me. BUT, because I was in hospital for months and recovering at home I was out of time (over 13 months) to lodge an appeal. No appeal No money even though the DWP changed their decision themselves, I didn't submit an appeal against the first decision.
