F2F report

Hi all
So my f2f was 2 weeks ago come Wednesday so I called and requested copy of the assesment and it came straight away... well I just don't know what to think. She's twisted a lot of things in "their favour" which if it went to MR or tribunal I could deal with. Looking at the points she has scored according to the report I've 8 for daily living and 10 for mobility.. so standard rate for both with an award her for min 2yrs.. my question is
can I take it as read that is what I will be awarded?? Im already planning for an MR but bringing it as if i was fighting for higher rates but if I'm awarded as per the report I won't MR as in scared of it going the other way and they take it all off me...hope that makes sense
. My head is battered!!!!....
Thanks in advance x

I dont have an opinion on whether you should fight for more, tribunals "usually" will not reconsider existing awards and only an upgrade but they are allowed to reconsider the lot, legally they are there to make an entire new decision.
I can tell you I am kind of in a similar position to you where I feel I Could get more than awarded but probably wont fight it if the DWP awards what the AP recommends. But I dont want to push you in that direction as its your own decision to make. The advantages of keeping what you get is you dont have the stress of worrying about it and can get on with your life, the disadvantage is of course you get less money than you would if you appealed it and won. If you appeal the process will very likely last much longer than a year so its a lot of stress to deal with.
Good luck in what you decide.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, and please do let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
