untruth in your assessment report

sorry to say that i have received what is for me disturbing advice that lies told by HCP assessors, are just part of the process and that they have no impact on the outcome of your award.
does anybody else here feel that the assessors have lied or bent the truth, and did it impact your award, i would be interested to know just how many people found untruths on the written reports against what was said during assessment.
and before i get jumped on again that its not about the assessment but you and the descriptors, why have a hcp do an assessment then if its all about your evidence

You should apologise.
For what its worth I have had HCP professionals assess me for both ESA and PIP and found both reports to be fair and balanced and a true reflection of the assessment.
@Bagpuss56 I would suggest you take a deep breath count to 10 and think about what you say.
best thing is just write your honest account as to what happened . I do think that just assessing a person in the way they walk, move , act and talk is as important as the descriptors. When asking questions on day to day living it comes natural to answer honestly without thinking of descriptors that might fit the question if that makes sense?
There are lots of posts in here about assessment reports containing what is perceived as lies
It is the assessors perception of the assessment not necessarily the way you perceive your ability against the descriptors which can often be different
All I will add is if you have concerns report it to the assessment providers tho this doesn't really get you anywhere in relation to your award
The whole process is a challenge for lots people but also not for others I have been awarded and reviewed with no issues it's all about the detail in your forms and evidence and of course a genuine condition that prevents you from being able to carry out daily tasks and mobility
If you dont get an award then there is the appeal which often gives better outcome
i also want to add that @poppy123456 is on here like every one else she shares her knowledge with us and helped so many people on this forum especially my self poppy has really helped me her knowledge on this subject is the best in my opinion Poppy’s knowledge and other peoples knowledge has really helped me on this site I don’t want you to feel I’m taking sides but I just want to remind you that every one on here gives the best advice on here some times we may feel we should of scored more with pip and poppy and others has helped advise people what steps they take next .
I would seriously suggest that we all walk away from this now, its going round in circles.
you say you have a friendly site (Removed by moderator, profanity) does not seem to support that, i had an opinion that someone did not like, why should i be called an (Removed by moderator, profanity) for having a different opinion, i did not swear or become offensive in any way YOU HAVE
This was my first visit here and my very first comment, and possibly my last, as I'm afraid that I don't find it very friendly at all.
