Having been on enhanced DLA since 2008 I received a letter to make a claim for PIP. Before I call them I wanted to ask how easy it is to arrange a recorded PIP assessment? As having followed Benefits and Work posts for years I want to make sure I’m treated fairly.

It is you as the claimant who has to organise the recording - not the assessor and you do need to inform them beforehand that you intend to record.
It needs to be made to two tapes or CDs simultaneously.
You cannot use a digital recorder such as a mobile phone.
A member has reported problems if the media is not new, so make sure that the tapes or CDs are still shrink-wrapped and opened in the presence of the assessor.
