    I don’t think it’s possible to speculate anything at this stage based on that information. There’s 12 activities for PIP which include things such as washing/dressing/preparing food/budgeting etc etc. 
    The report would have been written with their opinion based on your form, evidence and what you said during the assessment. 
    Try and focus on something else while you wait for the decision.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    That would indicate standard for both, which would be £86.30/week or £345.20 every 4 weeks. Your current award is £92.40/week or £369.60 every 4 weeks. Therefore if they go with the report your amount will be slightly reduced.
    Once the decision is made, if you're not happy you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration.

    Any award you have will continue to be paid while you wait for the MR decision. Same applies for Tribunal.

    Once a decision is made if you're not happy you can challenge that by first requesting the MR.
