Normally the DWP will follow what the assessor suggests.
However they can change the scores if they want to but it is rare.

Thnks as my brother is very anxious about it.. so u know under what circumstances they wld change the scores. . Descriptor have given clear reasons for those scores and I keep trying to assure him but as u r probably aware it's a stressful experience thnks 4 answering

As Yadnad has advised they usually go with the report, it's rare to go against it. If they did go against it then no one here would be able to tell you the reasons why.If you don't agree with the decision then i'd advise getting further advice before asking for the Mandatory Reconsideration because no one on an internet forum can tell you the risks, if any of asking for the MR.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.
