Just watched them all. We could play a guessing game as to what descriptors we think he was awarded (or not).
I think as many claimants as poss should request recordings - doesn’t seem to be an issue at all - would be good to have them when building an appeal case. I’ve handled several appeals lately where appointees in place and yet not allowed to speak at assessments and in most appeals, as we all know, the claimant/appointees description of the assessment does not tie in with the written report. Recordings would at least clarify this to an extent.
Having said this I think these are helpful. Better than nothing.
