Please can some one explain Assasemnt for pip im,why it’s done ? 

I’m being honest my Assasemnt told everything true how condition it affects my daily life .

assessor written poor report with mistakes 
each box marked unaided .except cooking 




when in history an an social occupational box she written 
I struggle ,need aid, an I need assistance an support .help to take medication .said I carried out msk but left it as in pain .

Asessor in prepping food is talking about bathing an washing

so she took points away saying no evidence aids
dressing bathing ,toileting
Wheoccupational came for visit they gave bath board , outside rails perching stool .

My bath installed already has handles 
an I had already got toilet rail. Previously points where given this time taken away 

each box to justify she said look at pa4 an no comments in each daily described box .

very poor report says claimant says in pain difficulty carrying out activity but was able sit move an walk without difficulty an carried out Msk without difficulty but also said I refused start of report.
 Any help I will loose points not writing report propoerly .

she says days bad but carried out msk 
but in anxiety wrote its good day when I didn’t say I said my condition gets worse through out the day

Hello @bi786 thanks for reaching out here on the community. Just so I've got this right, are you talking about the report for your recent PIP assessment?

The report is only a recommendation for the decision maker, so they might decided to award you differently. You'll know the final decision when the letter comes through, and we can support you, whatever happens.

You've talked about all the aids you use for some of the descriptors, is this what you've put down in your application? If you talked about how you need them to carry out different activities, and what would happen if you didn't have any aids then you'll have a good chance of being awarded points. 

I know it's difficult, but try not to dwell on what the report says, as it isn't the final decision. If you feel like we can help with anything, please let us know and we'll help as best we can.

And just so you know, I've marked your post as unanswered and edited the title, so that it can be found more easily.
