Record EverythingRecord Everything, especially their infamous 'Assessment Which Officially Isn't A Medical But Happens At A 'Medical Assessment Centre' For Some Unexplained Reason'.
Even if they lie that you're not allowed, that you don't have the right, that it's evidentially worthless, that you can't ever use it, that you have to supply them a copy of the recording, that you can trust them because no doctor would ever do wrong; Record Everything.
Avoid phonecalls wherever possible. Use Writing if you can, or taped calls if you can't. If they refuse consent to be recorded on a call, ask them to transfer you to someone willing to be recorded.
Even if you're already into the process, it's never too late to start rigorously documenting the process.
