Anyone asked for Atos staff member at assessment

Options
I've been on Incapacity Benefit for about 10 years due to severe stress and depression.
I did have one assessment some years ago, where they lied so much on my form that I lost my claim and it took about 6 months of having no income to go to appeal which overturned the decision immediately.
I've just received a form asking me to go for an assessment and in the notes sheet that comes with it, it states that a member of Atos Healthcare staff can be present at the assessment if you would like one to be there.
My question is, has anyone actually requested this and whether or not they have, do you think that the interview is more likely to be recorded accurately if two of them are there, or am I just doubling my chances of them writing a pack of lies?
