My Wife had her assessment 2 weeks ago, the interviewer was friendly though obviously I did not know what was written down. I purchased 2 Groove Personal Cassette Players from Amazon which were rubbish. DO not buy. The reason I wanted to record the session was not only to get a true record of the meeting as I intend to appeal if my Wife is downgraded in any way (MS chronic progressive 30 years) but also to insure the interviewer was more likely to do the job properly. I asked at the end of the session how often tape recorders were used at the interviews. She said that she had worked for the company for 3 years and we were the first. She also said that many people wanted to record the session on there mobile phones but this was not allowed.
