    HI,

    It's impossible to even try to sepculate anything at this point. Wait about a week and then ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.

    Good luck for tomorrow's assessment.

    Support bubbles can still continue through this next lockdown. I'm in a support bubble with my elder daughter and grandson, which i'll continue to see.
