Hi, I just want to say thank you very much for all your help doing this for me and if this looks promising, I am so relief and happy  

Definitely hope it has eased your anxieties.. I haven't looked carefully at the report but it does indeed look like the assessor really did listen and take seriously what you told them. You of course may not agree with everything in the report (people rarely do) but as a basis for getting an award (And by the looks of it a maximum award!) it is incredibly helpful. Note - you asked about the value of the form (PIP2) - the assessor references it for every activity and it looks like you did a good job filling it in. Do try to relax.... you've done all you can... you will get a Decision Letter in due course.

And as above... if you do get awarded PIP it may be worth just tipping Universal Credit off in your journal.

Thank you and yes, it has eased my anxieties. I asked another forum and the person said going from this, I have passed both daily living and mobility, does that look correct to you? 

Yes.... in a manner of speaking. There are standard and enhanced rates for Daily Living and Mobility components... to get enhanced award of each component you need 12 or more points in total... it's likely you'll be awarded 14 for each (see my calculation added in earlier post) and so enhanced rate for both components. (8-11 points is a standard award and less than 8 points is no award).

In terms of money that would be £108.55+£75.75= £184.30 per week.
But the payment is made every 4 weeks so every 4 weeks if you do get the award I expect then you would get £737.20 (once any backdating is sorted out).

That's great and thank you so much again for your help

Someone on Facebook have told me that the decision maker doesn't go off the reports and I can still get declined, is this true? I am so stressed now lol.

The decision maker can decide to not go with the report, but it is VERY rare.  (The only time I've heard of that happening was to give a higher award than the report recommended, because the report was rubbish.)

It looks like you've had an assessor doing their job properly so while I understand it's natural to be anxious and worry about something going wrong, all the evidence is there to get you the highest award. 
If the worst were to happen and the DM decided to go against the report, for some extremely strange reason, you've got an excellent basis for challenging it!

Oh dear, those awful FB groups again.  If it was me I'd be clicking "leave group" and never return.

Agree with your calculation 14 for each, you did a great breakdown.

Personally I can't see anyway that it won't be rubber stamped by a DM.
