Hello @holiday3 and welcome to the community.
Sadly it seems to be a common story that what the assessor writes down has very little to do with what happens during the assessment. If you disagree with the result you can ask for a mandatory review and then on to appeal if you feel the result is still wrong.
@BenefitsTrainingCo may be able to offer further advice.As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
