PIP assessor writing untruths

Hello, my wife has been turned down for PIP following a reconsideration. One of the things I am concerned about is that the PIP assessor wrote in the report that my wife declined a physical examination. This was not the case. She was never asked to do a physical examination.

Part of the PIP reconsideration says:

Although you have indicated some of the recorded observations at the consultation to be inconsistent with your recollection of events, there is no evidence to dispute your findings from the consultation.

It goes on:
You declined the musculoskeltal examination and were observed to walk at fast pace and normal gait for 45 metres, write, grip your elbows, shoulders, knees, feed and bend forward to touch your legs and feet more than once.


I made an audio recording of the examination on my phone (I always do with such meetings) but I did not disclose this. I don't know whether to state this and use the recording as direct evidence that the assessor was writing untruths. However I don't want it getting back to the DWP / ATOS that we record our medicals in case it affects future claims?

I am also inclined to make a complaint about the paramedic (as that is what they were) to the Health & Care Professionals Council
www.hcpc-uk.org/complaints/

Is this worth doing in parallel with an appeal to the tribunal?

Thanks
S
