RECORDING YOUR PIP MEDICAL

My partner and I have painstakingly filled out his PIP Questionnaire and it was sent back to the DWP. Some three weeks letter he has been sent a letter requesting a face to face assessment. I would like to record the assessment but the guidance on the Atos website and the DWP website is so loose and none specific that I cannot decide what equipment is needed.

Is there who has recorded their assessment? Does anyone have any links for equipment that I would be allowed to take in with me? It states two identical copies are needed, you can produce two identical copies on a digital recorder are these not allowed as the guidance seems to imply?

Any help would be gratefully receieved.

Thank you in advance,

Hi Laura,

I had my PIP medical recorded, using two cassette recorders bought from Ebay. They were Omega VAS machines, sold by electromartuk2000 for £17 each. They work well, and certainly keep the HPs mind concentrated on the task in hand.

Make sure you buy decent quality cassette tapes - TDK or BASF are good, and, more importantly, take someone with you to the medical and get THEM to operate the machines, not you.
Good luck with your medical.
