Dear Nell,

I would strongly recommend that you request DWP to record your phone assessment. I did not know I could do that and I regret it brcause my decision letter had a lot of fabricated information which affects my benefits.

Good luck.

Dear Nell and Audrey, may I back up, do not have the assessment without a recording.
Also take your own, this is quite legal for your own use. But do not tell them as they don't like it. 48 hours after the assessment, phone for your copy of the report, PA4. If fobbed off, just call again.
Audrey, how long ago was your decision? While one must never accuse the DWP and its servants of "lying", you can contest fabrications, none of us should accept them though it is tough to fight. But everyone here will will you strength!
