Does he base his decision solely on the PIP F2P assessment or does he look at your history of PIP or other benefits such as ESA and take those into consideration ?

They mostly go with the assessment report, it's rare to go against it. ESA and PIP are different benefits and won't help a PIP claim.

Also my pip f2f seemed to focus more on my physical health problems rather than my mental health which was the main reason for applying for it ??
All very confused right now.. pip assessment seemed too good to be true in comparison to my ESA ones..

What case managers should do and what they do in reality are generally two totally different things. They don't have the time to wade through everything.
It's like saying that someone who has always been awarded High Rate Mobility for DLA you would expect that they would get at least 8 points and up to 10 points for the moving around descriptor of PIP.
The reality is that if the assessor reports that you can walk over 200 metres then you get no points!

Best thing to do is order all you medical records from your doctor, hospital records and mental records so they have the compleat piture of you. And answer the questions simply and strait to the point.0

I could write a best selling book of fiction about how my life could be impacted - on the other hand I would be writing it on the basis that I am the person suffering so it could be said to be a non fictional book - but who could tell??

What you are saying is accepting without question that the claimant is being totally honest. There are some, and I have met a few in my time that would have you and me sometimes, believe that what they say is the truth - that is until you drill down into the 'story' in great depth - it is then than things start to unravel.
