Recording a PIP Assessment

Hi

I'm trying to find out if anyone has managed to recorded their PIP Assessment.

If so, does anyone have any ideas on equipment? I know it needs to be either tape recorder or CD. I am having trouble finding portable equipment that will make a dual recording.

I've looked online but it's very confusing. If anyone has managed a dual recording knowing what they used and where they found it would be very helpful.

Is there a resistance to applicants making a recording and will it hold up applications? I'm in the process of transferring from DLA to PIP and it is causing a lot of problems.

Thank you with fingers crossed

Hello Snowdrop,
I recorded my assessment using two separate tape recorders I bought via Amazon. Give yourself plenty of time if you do this: one of my machines was faulty and I had to send it back. Luckily I had time to get a replacement. Also, watch you do not press the buttons to start the recordings yourself. My assessor used this against me to say I must be able to prepare and cook a meal using knives as my manual grip was okay. You cannot use any recordings in a tribunal. They are for your reference only. TBH if you have a witness with you (which I would always recommend) then their notes are probably just as helpful. You cannot use recordings to prove any "lies" in court. The panel will not be interested.

I will be accompanying my sister to her PIPassessment.

You can now purchase usb voice recorders, but obviously it would mean taking a laptop into the assessment. does anyone know if this is acceptable?

Thanks
