PIP - Mobility

Hi there,
I have Fibromyalgia, Spine Disease, Neck Arthritis and a cyst on my spine, so walking is difficult for me.
I have just had my PIP Assessment at home and explained that I can walk 20 - 50 metres before having to stop. The assessor said, would you stop for a few minutes? I explained it's usually much longer, 5-10 minutes.
Can I ask if stopping, and then carrying on, would rule out getting the mobility part of PIP?
Thanks,
Darren

I did ring up DWP for a copy of the assessors report, but they stated you have to wait for the decision to be made first, incase the case manager needs to send it back for clarification. Am i being fobbed off?
