Any luck recording medicals?

Hello Everybody,
Has anybody had any luck recording medicals?
If you did, do you feel it has helped your claim?
Did maximus actually provide the recording technology when asked?
And if you did manage to officially get your medical recorded, was it useful in any way? Did you feel that what you actually said correlated more closely with what was written down? Were you matched with a sympathetic interviewer who was actually qualified to deal with your condition, and not - for example - a physiotherapist, if you were claiming for a mental health problem?
Or didn't it seem to make any difference? Or did you feel that it was in some way counter-productive?
Thanks for any ideas,
Droopy

Hi d,

Members are welcome to provide feedback, but Maximus do provide recording facilities at your ESA F2F as long as you request it and give them notice that you require it :

As reiterated on this : Maximus (CHDA) (HAAS) Webpage

Recording of your F2F should be requested as early as possible in the process, ideally with your ESA50 and there are template letters regarding this in our : ESA Claims Guides
