Hi Gordon I had my face to face today, last week I rang up and asked to record the interview, they told me yes but I needed 2 identical recorders to do so.
When I informed the interviewer she refused, I told her I had 2 but she said I needed 3, Also I needed permission, I said I have it, she then said it has t be in writing, I told her that is not what I had been told, I had been told to ring for permission which I had done so.
I ask f her if she would ring the customer service centre to confirm I had rang and gained permission but she refused
.she then said if I persisted to attempt to record the session she would terminate the interview and I would have to re apply.
Under duress I agreed to go ahead as didn't want the stress all over again.
I am asking what I should do, should I complain and ask for it to be recorded in my file or should I wait and see the result of her report.?
Regards

Hi Gordon, I have been awarded standard rate for needing assistance and Higher rate for my mobility until Feb 2022, however my Specialists letter confirms my disability will be life long.
Would this mean another face to face in 3 years and if so Should I accept and reapply in 3 + years or would it be better to ask them to reconsider the term to for life?

Hi Gordon not sure if you got my last email as not had a reply from you, I received my award details, I have been awarded standard for help and higher rate for mobility, however only until February 2022.
As my Specialist letters state my disability is of a permanent nature do you think I should ask for a mandatory consideration to award this permanently or should I accept the awards and apply again in 2022.
I would appreciate your advice on this.
