Hi n,

With ESA, The Centre for Health and Disability Assessments (CHDA) (aka HAAS) (Maximus) who took over the ESA WCA Contract from ATOS on 02/03/15 will provide recording equipment for your face to face if one is required whether it be at one of their Centres or in your home,

This must be requested by you and pre-arranged with Maximus.

Further information regarding this can be found in our : ESA Guides and Resources and from the 7th FAQ down : This Page

For PIP, neither ATOS or Capita will provide recording equipment, so you would have to pre-arrange this, and provide your own equipment.

Your equipment must be capable or making two simultaneous recordings on CD or Cassette Tape, where one of the CD's/Cassettes would be handed to The Assessor at the end of the face to face.

We have heard from members who have been allowed to use two Cassette Dictaphones simultaneously, but as I have said, this would have to be pre-arranged with The AP.

For Capita, you can find further information on this from the penultimate FAQ on : This Page

For ATOS, see : This Page

See our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page) as well.

If you are unsure who your PIP AP is, you can check : Here.
