PIP Assessment report

Hi, I was wondering how often the decision-maker at PIP goes along with what the assessor has suggested point wise? I'm really hoping that they will stick with the report like they did last time because I have went from 0 points in mobility to 12. Have my fingers tightly crossed because it would make such a massive difference to our lives.
Also, I'm assuming with the state of things right now because of covid that it's taking a little longer to get an answer just now. PIP received my assessment report on the 13th of July. Last year it took 4 weeks from my assessment to receiving the backdated money, would love that kind of turn around again lol. How long do people seem to be waiting at the moment? I've been told by someone (not from the dwp) that it might take 16 weeks whereas the text I received from dwp said within 8 weeks.
Sorry this is so long, I get so anxious when I have zero clue how it'll go. Hearing other people's accounts really helps.
Thank you in advance

But it looks like all may be well, good luck and let us know how you get on.
Yeah, it's like asking how long as piece of string is, isn't it? Just nice to hear from people who have maybe had answers back from PIP recently
I really hope all is well and thank you for the luck, it's appreciated. Just wish I could be more patient lol
Thank you for your reply
Just woke up and checked my banking app, backdated payment has went in from PIP. In complete shock right now but so so happy. You guys must be my lucky omens! 😊
