Well today I received my report.. To find the ‘Nurse’ has completely lied on the assessment, She just basically said I can do everything unaided, Which is not the case at all, Absolutely furious!

Hi @leeh098
I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel as though the assessor has reflected what you wanted to get across in their report.
Have you received your award letter yet?0 -

woodbine said:What you have isn't the decision but it will form part of the final decision in a few weeks time, the DM doesn't always accept the assessment they look at everything, but you should look up MR (mandatory reconsideration) which will be the first step if you are unhappy with the award(or lack of one), you have to do that before appealing.1

Remember the assessor is not there to write down everything you say or tell them they are there to form their own opinion on your abilities.If you don’t get the decision you want than you can move forward with an MR.You need to be providing 2 real world examples regarding what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor/activity that is applicable.0

Hopefully the DM reads what I said on the assessment, and Does not go on what the Assessor said, I will be putting in a MR if I am unsuccessful, As I do not think the assessment process is fair. Thank you all for you’re reply’s.0

There's a lot of people that think the AP should write what you said word for word, this isn't what happens. If it did, there would be no point in having the assessment.I note from other comments of yours that you claimed PIP last year but where refused. You then had a diagnosis of Autism and decided to re-apply.Although the report you received isn't the decision, they mostly go with the report BUT not always.If you're refused again then i'd advise you to get some expert advice from an agency near you to check that you do qualify. If you do then request the MR and if that fails, it's Tribunal. Start here. https://advicelocal.uk/If you constantly re-apply using the same evidence you previously used, this will likely continue to see you being refused.

Include information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.Di you take it all the way to Tribunal the first time you applied?

Sorry @lee098 - you'll not be the first to perceive 'inaccuracies' in the assessor's report. The first thing to do is to put the report away. If the decision, when you receive your decision letter, doesn't reflect your difficulties, then you can do a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) as mentioned. Also, as stated, if you hadn't already done so with your claim form, you need to give a couple of recent detailed examples as to the difficulty you faced attempting/doing any applicable activity/descriptor that you disagree with in a written MR. Exactly what happened, when, why did you have difficulty, did anyone else see this, & were there any consequences afterwards?Have a look here at how this can be looked at for some of those with mental health issues for guidance. It's about how to apply for PIP, but is still relevant if a MR is needed: https://www.mentalhealthandmoneyadvice.org/en/welfare-benefits/pip-mental-health-guide/help-with-your-pip-claim/how-to-fill-in-the-pip-form/

@leeh098, hello now you have your assessment report the results are not what you expected and the decision maker mostly go by the assessment report recommendations. So having got your report you have plenty of time to put a MR together giving plenty of xtra evidence and information to support your PIP application. When preparing your MR give real examples of what did or does happen each and every time you attempt or preform the PIP descriptors/ activities. Remember you have to be able capable of preforming the descriptors safely, repeatedly and in a timely manner. Focus your MR on these issues and take your time and don’t accuse the HP of lying in the assessment report.0
