PIP Mandatory Reconsideration

Hi all,
Asking this on behalf of my brother, who earlier this year applied for PIP. His quick backstory is that he is on the Autistic Scale, he always felt different to others & so saved up for & got himself an in depth test at a clinic & has a huge report which shows all the areas in which he is affected. Anyway, he claimed PIP & was given a face to face meeting in which they spent 90 minuted grilling him, he said he felt emotionally & mentally drained by the end of this. On my advice (from reading stories on here) I told him to record the meeting, which he did & informed tham that he was doing so. He also took his girlfriend with him for emotianl support.
He received the decision yesterday which was a total whitewash of 0 points. In their decision they have made a number of mistakes such as saying his fione motor skills are OK because he can drive. They also claim that as he works at Tesco he cannot possibly suffer from Discalculia which he certainly does & it shows in him medical report. Those are just a couple of examples.
He intends to ask for a mandatory reconsideration as per the guidelines, what I am asking here is shoud he send a recording of the face to face interview at this point? I can get general guidelines to help him from the forums, I just need to know if he can send evidence at this point?
Thank you all for fighting the good fight. You certainly helped me through a very tough time & I keep my membership updated by way of support
