    HI,
    You need to put the report to one side because concentrating on this will not get you a PIP award. The assessment process is there to gather more evidence to support your claim and then the assessor writes their opinion based on everything you send, as well as what you said during the assessment.
    If you think you qualify then you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration. You should state 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. Include details such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.
    MR success rate is about 46%. If the MR decision doesn't change then it's Tribunal. Waiting times for MR decision is between 2 -12 weeks, sometimes longer.
