What the petition asks
Benefit assessors have been purportedly lying to the DWP regarding claimants health and disability.
Disabled people want to record their PIP assessments but are only permitted to use archaic & obsolete cassette equipment.
Disabled people want to record their PIP assessments but are only permitted to use archaic & obsolete cassette equipment.
The current conditions for the recording PIP Assessments are preposterous only allowing for the use of cassette/CD recorders that are no longer available.
A claimant would have to provide 2 copies of a cassette tape.
This is totally unacceptable.
Digital equipment is inexpensive and widely available but not permitted only Cassette or CD.
In one case when a claimant asked an assessor where they could get hold of a double cassette recorder the assessor said, 'try and buy it on eBay'.
