Some years ago I had two medical assessment by ATOS and following advice from this web site I asked that they be recorded. This caused problems for them and on two occasions they' forgot' to obtain a tape recorder. I of course refused to be interviewed without it being recorded. My right to a recorded interview was enshrined in statute and I am certain it affected the attitude of the 'healthcare professional' as on both occasions they were somewhat cautious.
Can you say if Is it possible to have any PIP interview tape recorded. BH
