    Hello @croth and welcome to the community, how are you?

    Do you mean that you have received a copy of the report written up by the assessor after having your assessment for PIP? If so, then yes it is the assessor who will have compiled the report and made the recommendations for which points you should be awarded.


    How did your assessment go? Is there any particular reason why you are wondering who ticked the boxes? :) 

     

    This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

    You need to count Daily Living and Mobility separately.

    As you have been made aware already, a recommendation isn’t final but likely.

    Mostly yes but it has been known for them to go against it.
