USING RECORDING OF ATOS MEDICAL FOR APPEAL

As a point of law would a recording that has been made and undisclosed at the time be allowed?

Surely the import of the previous posts is that no one here is sure, and would love to find out.

They are certain that it would be very unlikely to succeed if it's pulled out of the magician's hat at the last moment.

So the best advice seems to be to notify the tribunal of the existence of such a recording and request that it be allowed as evidence. Be prepared to be told "No" or to be ordered to provide copies for the DWP well in advance.

Then tell us here what happens

In my opinion producing a covertly recording at a triburnal, be it declared and made available to all, could open a whole new tin of worms! Will it be viewed as underhanded and potentially do more harm than good? It's a complex situation and I'd be inclined to seek legal advice before declaring it!

So wouldn't the "panel" realistically ask the medical professional to explain conflicting evidence? What position would the op be in if they turned around and said it wasn't them in the recording?
