Pip telephone assessment report

Hi, I had my telephone appointment last month and asked for a copy of my report after I got the text to say DWP had received it. They have given me 14 points for daily living and 12 for mobility on the report and I'm just wondering how likely I am to be awarded the higher rate given I'm only just on the edge.. do they usually go with the assesors recommendation? they received the report 2 weeks ago so I'm still in for abit of a wait I think and it's constantly on my mind.

Thanks

    Hello @Sam91 and thanks for posting :) Although it's a recommendation, it's fairly rare for the decision maker to go against the report- it does happen, but rarely. 

    If you need anything else while you wait to hear more, please ask, and we'll do what we can to help out!
