So after not wanting to see my report, on the basis that bad news travels faster...I changed my mind.
If they go with the report then I've scraped through for daily living at standard rate, which is what I'd hoped for...no having to go for mr or tribunal yay!
Review to take place after 18 months
Nothing for mobility...I'd said that I go out locally once or twice a week for any meds or missed items from grocery delivery and that I never went anywhere unfamiliar alone...she'd written that although it distressed me going out, she didnt think it was so severe as to prevent me functioning once outside...but she never mentioned problems with unfamiliar journeys...so I take that as she doesn't think or believe it to be a problem.
Apart from that, everything she wrote was as I'd told her...there was nothing untrue or unfair written and mention of how I sounded very low, sad, withdrawn and anxious came up throughout the report.
I mention that as I have read of people saying they were obviously anxious etc but the assessor had described them as perfectly fine...
So here's hoping they go with the report!
It's over!!
Thanks to everyone here for their support...giving me the courage to go for an mr etc if I felt it was necessary.

Thank you for the update @Cress - & pleased you were brave & asked for the assessor's report. Yes, the DWP decision maker does usually go with this report. So, great news, & pleased your report on the whole was accurate; it's good to let others know this.

Thanks @anxiousbird
Didnt think I had a cat in hells chance at the start...with being a carer for my son, kept re reading my pip2 form thinking I wish I'd done it better...lol

@Cress I’m the same atm. I’ve submitted my pip2 based on mental health issues too and I still keep thinking about what else I could’ve mentioned lol. Well, you can finally relax now ?

Yay well done cress . I was exactly the same scared to see the report . My disabilities are mental illnesses and I recieve pip . I also thought with me having a invisible illness it be harder to get pip I was so worried about the assessment and the outcome and I recieved pip for daily living and mobility don’t be put off thinking you are less likely recieve it if your have anxiety because anxiety very much affects your day to day living which is what pip is about .

Thanks @cupcake88 it's really nice how supportive people on here are
The nurse who did my assessment was pointing out that it was an illness like any other and nothing I should be feeling guilty about...
Which was reassuring.
Hope you're getting on ok... -
