Hello,
We have managed to get the assessment moved to the city we live in tried twice and was successful on 2nd call as it would have cost approx. £100 to get to stoke and back in taxi.
We have two small tape recorders and are wondering if it's a good idea to try and record the assessment. The date has been moved to 18th A Have we left it too latepril so the day after easter B/hol Monday. Would we have to ask Capita in writing for permission to do this? by wrting to the head office in darlington? Have we got time to do this and where would we write to? Getting very anxious about it all. Thanks.

You can make the request to record over the phone but I would follow it up in writing to the assessment centre that you are currently booked into. Be aware that it could push your assessment back as they will need to have an assessor willing to be recorded available.

Hello Gordon,
We have already had our "one change" of appointment from 21st to 18th to move it to derby so would they be willing to move it again if we ask to record the assessment. Should I ring the number on Capita appointment letter? that is not the number for the assessment centre as you know I'm having trouble getting hold of the actual assessment centre number.
Also do you think I may get the assessment centre number by ringing the number on the appointment letter and saying I want to be put through to Derby for directions and then asking the person in derby for the assessment centre number?
Lastly do you happen to know if many people record their PIP assessments? I know people try to get ESA ones recorded but is it important for PIP? Do you know of anyone who has done so? Sorry to go on... just want to try the best option with so little time left. Thanks.

They can move the assessment as many times as they wish, accommodating a recording is down to them.

You can contact them by email

A lot of members have recorded their PIP Assessments, don't forget that you need to provide the equipment.
