I don't think they would agree to it but as its ur home do they really have say. I would love to b able to record an assessment with them just for my own records. Looking forward 2 seeing if they will allow u to do it but somehow can not see them agreeing. I suppose you could record it without their knowledge.... (maybe I shouldn't say that..lol). Let us know if they let u and how u get on. Best of luck 4 ur assessment. Gentle hugs x

Hi,I went for atoas medical and my daughter recorded the interview on her mobile phone,she left it in full view of examiner who did'nt question it and if they had of asked i would have said i wish to record it as my memory is so poor i would forget afterwards once outside what i had been asked or answered luckily i did not need to refer back to it as i was passed into support group but better safe than sorry.I am sure though that it's not allowed to be submitted in any appeal but at least you can play it to any legal team if necessary if the outcome is unexpected or there is any details that have been amended by examiner.Hope all goes well for you good luck x
