ATOS recording to tape should I accept?

[worried33]

Ok I turned up for a ATOS medical last week, it was actually cancelled but I didnt get the letter until 2 hours after I got back from the cancelled appointment. I couldnt ring before I went to verify if still on as all ATOS systems were down and they were automatically rejecting all calls.

 

So the medical didnt happen as was cancelled, I had a 5 minute conversation with the receptionist (mainly her talking to me apologising etc.) and she suggested since the machine is broken they may record to tape instead, but given tape players are what seems to be extinct now can I refuse such a recording? or is that considered reasonable for atos to record in that manner?

Do you mean they're offering to tape your medical on an old-style cassette recorder? I personally would be OK with that. If you're not, then say no.

They have to give you a copy that you can listen to. I got copy of CD from one of my friends that I attended with and the ATOS report had many discrepancies from the actual recording thus appeal granted without having to go to appeal.

its not an issue now.

 

The receptionist rang me up on the morning of the medical, I was offered the medical right away on tape or to wait for cd recording, I opted to wait.
