    Hi @greenpatts23 - the last few pages of the report will have a black dot in place for each activity or descriptor. Check these against the following link, & you should be able to work out your points for daily living & also for the mobility component. See: https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/asset-library/Scores-for-PIP-Descriptors-2020.pdf

    You're welcome :) - You need 8 or more points for the standard rate, & 12 or more for enhanced rate for each component (daily living and mobility).

    The health assessment providers, details how to complain will be on their website. The assessment reports are nothing to do with DWP.

    Did you add up the recommended points? Usually they go with the report, it's rare to go against it. Once the decision is made if you're not happy then you'll have 1 month to request the MR.
