on seeing medical report written by health professional after my esa medical. If I knew she was a story teller I would have got my medical recorded. So if anyone is attending one in the future 'GET IT RECORDED ' it's your right. And that stops the jackanory. ( story tellers) (liars).

    Just to point out that you do need permission to have an assessment recorded. If you dont then and you get caught, you risk having your assessment stopped and your file returned to DWP, where you'll be refused that benefit.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    ESA will record your assessment on their equipment if you request it

    PIP you have to get permission and provide the equipment to record two copiies simultaniously on either CD or Cassette. You can use two relatively cheap cassette recorders. One copy has to be given to the assessor

    Amandawilliams62Amandawilliams62,

    Good advice, and helpful points from CR and Poppy. 

    Maximus policy on recording is here (for ESA). They will provide equipment, but they do need notice. 

    Atos policy is in their FAQs here. As CR says, for PIP, you'll need your own equipment.

    Capita policy is here.

    As CR says, for PIP, you need equipment which will produce 2 identical recordings. 

    You need to notify the assessment provider in advance too.

    Will

    Id have to agree, record your interview my partner medical was manipulated by ESA medical assessor and they even went on to say that my partner was on the phone whilst waiting to be seen, total lies, as her mobilephone was in for repair and didn’t have it that day, after it was proved the assessor was caught out lying, she still didn’t get into any trouble and our complaint was ignored by both DWP and assessors, oh and Poppy you obviously like comment on everybody’s comment negatively I see. You sure dont work for the DWP as you seem to defend there actions on most peoples posts!!!

    I never said not to record an assessment. I said permission is needed before recording one. There's people out there who would have no idea to ask permission first, if they're caught without this they risk having their benefit stopped.

    Yes I agree. While I'm appealing my esa I had to apply for jsa. Honestly the first thing the advisor said at the job centre was"They are taking everyone off esa". I am learning about all the pros and cons. Fear very soon turns to anger with these people would sit in a office knocking as many people as possible down.

    I think people need to calm down. The advice from @poppy123456 is factual and correct. I fail to see what the problem is. If you dont want the truth thats fine but to take issue with somebody who is trying to help people and who has been through the process is ridiculous.
