Hey I’ve had my uc50 assessment and called to see what happens and the advisor said it’s already with a decision maker and my report looks fine on her end? What do this mean she said to call next week to get my report and a decision will shortly be made

I agree the advisor won't have any idea of what is in the report.
However, you can't obtain a copy of the assessors report (UC85,) until the decision letter (UC81) has been uploaded to your UC journal. They categorically won't give you the UC85 before you receive your decision letter, as they say they don't have copies until the UC81 has been received.
After you have received the UC81 (in your journal,) you can request a copy of the assessors report - ( UC 85) and if you disagree with the decision you can also request a copy of the decision makers report - (LT54).
If it's a re assessment there won't be a LT54 for the decision if they have allowed LCWRA to continue as a result of the assessment report and no decision has been changed by them, so there would be no decision maker involvement
You can request copies via your UC journal or in writing by letter to the DWP.
You have 30 days to lodge a Mandatory Reconsideration if required.
Hope it all makes sense, just ask if it doesn't.
If it's a new claim and your first payment? it's quite possible she had the dates for your assessment period and payment date, regardless of which group you will be in.
If it's an ongoing claim, then the dates won't change from your previous assessment period and payment date.
I think the problem occurs when you are dealing with two different 'agencies' as such and two different computer systems? The assessors report goes direct to the DWP.
From my 'real life experience' and others, have found it impossible to get copies of the assessors report before the decision has been made for the WCA on Universal Credit.
Hopefully your decision letter will be uploaded to your journal soon. It's a stressful time, waiting. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask.
Take care

It only has an adverse effect on your health, so try and put it aside until next week, if you can.
Have as good a weekend as is possible.

I'm happy to know they're agreed to send the report to you, this is exactly what i thought. When you receive it you need to look at the back of the report to see what the recommendations say for LCW and LCWRA. If you don't understand it then post back here and someone will help you further.
