Unfortunately PIP assessment reports are often inaccurate. You need to proceed with a mandatory reconsideration immediately then a tribunal if you don't feel you were respected at the mandatory reconsideration.
This link tells you about the MR process. You only have a month more or less to contest the decision that was made so do not delay. If you need more help, call your local Citizen's Advice Bureau and ask for a benefits advisor .

Keep us updated on the outcome! Best wishes.
I can understand how annoying it is for information like this to be incorrect. Have you received a decision yet?

Anyone is able to do the assessment as they will have been trained the same way. It shouldn't make a difference to the outcome with it being a dental nurse.
