Yes they should be OK, just make sure that the tapes long enough for the session.

Decisions for PIP are made by a DWP Decision or Claims Manager, wait times appear to be about 2-4 weeks at the moment.

I thought the assessor that assessed you was the one who was given your application form and medical information from the DWP, and then made the decision if they could do a paper assessment or a f2f.
There is a scrutiny team that look at the PIP2 form when they are received from the DWP, they make the initial Decision about a face to face assessment, once it has been handed on to an assessment office, they can revise that decision if they receive more information from the claimant.
