Hi guys! 

I received my assessment for pip letter.... the lady who did my report put everything down correctly! ... I was in shock as I’ve heard a lot of bad reviews with regards to this!
she basically gave me 8 points for daily living and 8 for mobility.... 
would this mean I would get pip or can my decision still be denied. 
Thank you

    The assessor is not the Decision Maker. The Decision Maker is not bound to follow the assessment report but usually they do (even when they shouldn’t). If you are awarded 8 points in both categories you will get a Standard Rate award for both components.

    If they don’t follow the assessment person and follow the reviews.... then what’s the point they should do it them selfs lol? .... just wondering if they mainly follow the report. Or do they make there own report. Also I sent all my documentation you name it lol! I was very much sending a large package ....
