<p>As part of our commitment to improve the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment
process we have been progressing options to video record PIP face-to-face assessments.
Over the summer we gathered views on video recording from claimants, representative
bodies and from Health Professionals in order to inform a live testing pilot later
in the year, which will inform wider rollout decisions.</p><p> </p><p>Providing they
give advance notice, claimants of Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit
can already ask for their assessment to be audio recorded and equipment will be provided.
Claimants may also use their own equipment provided they meet certain conditions required
by DWP.</p>
