    You can ring PIP anytime to give your thoughts across about the report.  They do mostly go with it but it has been known for them to go against it. Before making the decision they should look at everything you sent as well as the report.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I did think they usually go with the report so I don't expect a different decision when I finally get one. What is the process of a MR if you don't mind me asking? Again, thank you so much for your help!

    You're welcome. MR request should be put in writing stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. Of course need to wait for the decision first. Before requesting the MR you need to make sure you fully understand the descriptors. This will help. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-the-assessment-criteria

    I think I'm going to do that. I don't think I've the courage to call them about it. It took me all my time to call for my report. One final question I have is, whilst it is going through a MR, do you still recieve payment or does this stop till you receive a final decision?
    I do understand the descriptors and feel my report for the most part is fair and accurate, I just feel one question is a little contradictory to what the assessor has written. 
    Again, thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it.

    Yes you do. The initial decision stands until the MR decision is made.
