<p>We do not permit claimants to record their Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
assessments using certain devices, including phones and laptops, due to concerns about
the broadcasting and editing capabilities of such devices. These are specifically
the risk posed to the privacy of Health Professionals from publication of assessments,
and the possibility that recordings might be altered.</p><p> </p><p>Claimants are
permitted to use any equipment which meets the requirements set out. The Department
has not made an assessment of the cost of purchasing that equipment.</p><p> </p><p>PIP
assessment policy, as with all PIP policy, undergoes continuous review and we continue
to identify improvements where appropriate.</p>
