New PIP claim, assessors report received

Hello, I wonder if those with experience of this would be kind enough to post in response. I had my face-face on 21st October and have now received a copy of the assessors report. I have added up the dots and have calculated 14 points for care and 10 for mobility. I am aware that the decision takes 4-8 weeks after the report has been received by the DWP. My question is for those who have received their award - did the final decision tally roughly with the points on the assesors report? I'm not banking on this being the case but would like to hear first hand from those with experience. Thank you.

I am at Tribunal stage.
Im not saying that they will do that with you.
Good luck.
@lindadenise, I agree with you, it's very unfair. I know it's a difficult process and awful when medical opinion is overlooked. I think unless your medics write about how your illness affects your functional abilities in terms of the descriptors, the DWP doesn't take it into account. I'm sorry you've had to fight through to tribunal stage and I wish you a good outcome.
I was supposed to go tomorrow but tribunal has adjourned due to not having Dr not being available to sit on the panel. So im back to waiting for a new date.
Goodluck

Thanks again to those who gave feedback on my original question.
@lizzieloz30 I'm right down south. Don't worry, the HCP and the DWP both said 6-8 weeks for a decision. I had my face to face on 20th October so I'm sure you'll hear soon. New claims and tranfers from DLA seem to have different waiting times.
I hope you have a positive outcome.
