.Gov recording of PIP assessments

wild666

There is a petition on the government petition site asking for recording of PIP assessments, for those who want them of course,
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/72173
So far it only has 11 signatures, they have allowed recordings of ESA assessment since 2010 and probably longer although, possibly, until Feb 2012 they tried to say you had to provide the equipment and a qualified sound recordist.
Let's give Cameron and Co. a bloody nose by making them also offer recordings for PIP for those who want them.

There is no sound recordist. The HCP sets up the recording equipment and gives the claimant a copy of the disc before they leave. If the claimant wants to do the recording, DWP tried to insist that they must use a qualified technician and properly calibrated equipment to do so (I'm not sure exactly how that stands now).

that was until Sept. 2010 then they changed it to you could have it recorded but ATOS still made it impossible to have a recording, then in FEB 2012 Chris Grayling stated that anybody that wished their assessment recording could do so. I hope they back down and adopt this approach with PIP

My Dictaphone does an impressive job of catching all they have to say
