Hi @tez66 and welcome to the community! That is a normal text message to receive, please don't panic 😊 I know I'm telling you not to panic but know that I have felt the exact same way when I've received text messages like this 😂

I have received a copy of my report and looking at the points the assessment gave me are 9 diserblity and 12 for mobility can the dwp change that or do they go by what the assesser has recommend

The DWP Decision Maker usually goes along with the assessors report, but not always.

Hello @tez66.

The decision usually follows the assessment report, so that should give you some idea. Some people contact the automated PIP payment line, which tells them how much their next PIP payment will be. This can provide an indication, but it can also cause some anxiety as it is sometimes inaccurate. I hope your decision letter arrives soon so that you can relax.

Thankyou yes Iv phoned pip line and my next payment as gone up so it looks like full rate mobility and standard disability 🙏
