Pip consultation report

Dear members
i received a copy of the assessor s report. I am disappointed by her comments she even said ‘she is above average build looks well nourished’ basically she was saying I’m fat. I hold fluid I can’t help it made me feel like crying.Then she says I can wash my hair with one hand how is that done? I have very long hair and need help with washing my hair.
she has given me two points for managing toilet needs or Incontinence, I use a catheter 6 times a day take 80 mg water pill in the evening so don’t wet in work so I am iincontinent of urine every evening and need help.
I wasn’t allowed to explain anything at the assessment the assessor kept saying you have already written that in the report my mum was told to sit on the side of the room and stay quiet when she entered the room. Don’t think that’s professional. They sent out a leaflet encouraging us to take someone with us to speak or add info but the hcp obviously didn’t read it
How is do I challenge the decision do you still receive payments if you ask for a mandatory consideration

How would the assessor know if you can manage on your own or you need someone to help?
If it all hinges on what was claimed and what was said at the assessment that's a little dangerous to my thinking.
Wish I had known that when I filled out the last review form. My diabetic control is all over the place, has been for years and I need reassurance and reminding due to mental health issues (which the assessor said that I don't have despite the evidence saying the opposite.
Something to remember for my next review next year.
