    HI,

    It's impossible to even try to sepculate anything at this point. Wait about a week and then ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.

    Good luck for tomorrow's assessment.
    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.

    Support bubbles can still continue through this next lockdown. I'm in a support bubble with my elder daughter and grandson, which i'll continue to see.

    @tara2019 I imagine its a huge relief that both assessments are over and I understand your frustration at the process you have had to go through. 

    Fingers crossed for the outcome and you getting a good nights sleep :)  Let us know how you get on.
