The report is not the decision. It’s a recommendation, although they mostly go with it, it has been known for them to go against it. 

You can also ring PIP to ask if a decision maker can ring you before making their decision. You can then put your thoughts across to them. 

Once the decision is made if you’re not happy you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration. As it’s a review if you’re refused your PIP will stop.

Have you been able to contact them yet @kateymatey and, if so, would you like to tell us a little more about how this has gone for you? Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to support you

Update when you get the decision, if it goes against you, don't panic. Regroup, there are other steps you can take to put your case forward to the DWP and try to get the points you need.

Hi i have spoken to DWP and they said the assesors report isnt final and they gave me a contact for Capita complsints. I habe sent a complaints form off and am awaiting reply 
I feel the assesment was a complete misi nformtion as some of the comments were ludicrous ie
  1
i was well schooled and attended university( even though this wasnt even brought up in my assesment) and what tgst has to fo with my assesment is beyond me
2I touched my nose with my right hand and my hair with my left( what is this relevant with my claim)
3 I stood in the shower when i i  actually sit on a stool in the shower snd use a long handled sponge for my lower half she didnt ask me this just presumed  i stood 
4 I could use a microwave and kettle ( again this was not brought up )
So i am really upsrt and my anxiety is through the roof

Hi @kateymatey

I'm sorry the report has upset you and and set off anxious feelings, is this something you currently have enough support around?

To feel disbelieved and unheard is hard, and I know many of us have been in your shoes. It isn't a nice experience at all. I hope sending the complaints form and writing about what happened has been in some ways cathartic, and you receive a response you are satisfied with.

Please know that you've done everything you can do for the time being, so hold on tight and distract yourself all you can. We're here if ever you need to chat in the future. Good luck
