My mum had a lovely assessor i know that they all seem to be nice and then people are shocked when they see the report.

You have 28 days from the date of the award letter to get your mandatory reconsideration (MR) request in.  You can phone them first if you like but you will need to put your mandatory reconsideration request in writing.  There is no form - you write a letter.  There is a mandatory reconsideration (MR) letter tool which will generate a letter for you.

Also, phone DWP and ask for a copy of the assessor's report.  This will help you to state in your MR letter where the assessment was incorrect.

You might be able to get f2f help locally, CAB or similar.  Scope Helpline might be able to tell you about local advice organisations.
