    Hi and welcome.

    The report you've received is just a recommendation and makes up part of the evidence to your claim. The decision maker looks at all the evidence and makes a decision from there. IF your form was filled in with lots of information about how your conditions affect you then they may go against the report. It has been known.

    Once the decision's made, if you're not happy you need to request the MR stating where and why you think you should have scored those points. Adding a couple of real world examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you will also help.

    At the moment the MR success rate is 50%. If the decision doesn't change at this point then it's Tribunal.

    Hi @linda40 - & welcome to the community. :)  As Poppy says, you will have to wait for your actual decision letter. Kindly let us all know how you get on.

    Welcome to the community @linda40 :) How are you doing today? 

    I hope that above advice has helped you to understand the process, and think about how you might prepare for an MR should you not get the award you think you're entitled to. Do you have any other questions or concerns? 

    Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our PIP category and tweaked the title so that it's easier for other members to find.
