Not entirely sure of the relevance of this - maybe I've missed something - but MOJ or not I still think the best bit is just to concentrate on presenting a good case for being awarded PIP. Look up the activities and descriptors on the DWP website and use these as a guide for what examples to use...
@skullcap - did you previously post as Yadnad, Twonker, & Gruber. I'm just curious??

How do you cope in your normal life with getting around? If you have and use an electric scooter then you could use it to get to the assessment centre.
Those are some of the things that an assessor would be looking at.
However if you can only walk that sort of distance with help, say from the entrance door at the supermarket (being dropped off by car) and then once inside the store you get onto one of their scooters to do the shopping then there would be no difficulty in doing the same at the assessment centre whilst someone got the fold up wheelchair out of the boot of the car to go in for your assessment.

@Username_removed - I agree; I recorded my assessment and found it very helpful. Not for a tribunal though...
The bottom line though is that there's little that would be in most recordings to help a claimant at a tribunal - just the "I said, she said" of the assessment. Showing that the assessor wrote 'x' when you said 'y' doesn't prove that 'y' is correct, so you're most likely to be no further forward.
Best stick to presenting your own evidence, examples etc (as others have said)
