They do it at ATOS house in Sunderland, they video people into the assessment centre then watch for them using the stairs.
I'm sure they do. If not by video then they watch people in the waiting room before appointments. If you're not aware then you may screw up your claim before you're even in the assessment by appearing too comfortable sitting down (no problem sitting for long periods, not that they'd deliberately make you wait or anything like that), or having the temerity to be seen reading a book, which obviously proves you have no concentration issues whatsoever, etc...
I took my opportunity to "put on a show" for them. Not that I needed to to back up my claim, but I didn't want to give the arseholes any opportunity to think they'd been clever and "caught me out".
