Couple of pip questions post telephone asessment

Hi guys ..
So last Wednesday my mum had her PIP telephone assessment. It was on speaker phone as she suffers from terrible anxiety and I was with her.
During the asessment I was so proud of her as I could tell it was hell for her but she really is in a bad way post stroke (it's taken us over a year to get her to apply).
She answered all questions truthfully but when it came to her walking they never asked how far she could manage. She really can't manage far and uses the furniture to get around the room .. she told them exactly how long it took to get places which is ages but I was confused as I thought they would ask .. is this normal?
Also I have read on here (thanks guys) that we can call and ask for a copy of her assessment once we get a text to confirm they have received.. problem.is we have had no texts at all from DWP at any point .. is this normal and if so can i still call ?
Thanks a million
