You will be assessed for PIP using the activity descriptors. The DWP will take into account what you write on your claim form, the medical evidence you send with the claim form and then if you have a face to face assessment, the assessor's report will also be used. The decision won't be made by a computer, the decision will be made by a decision maker at the DWP using all of the available evidence.
Are you aware of all of the activity descriptors for PIP?
Some people find it helpful to carry out a PIP self-assessment test to get an idea of how many points they might score. If you want to carry one out you can do one on the Benefits and Work website http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/indexxx.php
If you have any further questions I'm happy to try and answer them.
Best wishes

DWP immediately changed this back to highest rate PIP. Now fighting to get "indeterminate" rather than 3 year award as car 7 years old and cannot obtain (very heavily adapted) vehicle on affordable HP over only 3 years.
NOTE, turns out assessor was a nurse with little or no relevant expertise in spinal cord injury or combined Heart Disease/diabetes and spinal cord damage.
Good Luck.
