This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition add a question to record ESA & PIP assessments to the ESA50 & PIP forms
Add the following question to ESA50 form and PIP02 form asking if the claimant would like their assessment recorded? This should have been added from inception. Every assessment room should have recording equipment in it.
More details
Recording of assessments should be MANDATORY and the recording should follow the written report from start to finish. Decision makers should use the recording and not the written report as health professionals could pick out select phrases from a reply to apply a different meaning to the full reply given by the claimant.Recordings would give the claimant more security as they would have a verbatim copy of everything said on the recording.
