Hi Stressed
I know it's difficult but you need to wait until you have seen the actual report. It's impossible to judge what the assessor has meant by someone telling you things over the phone like that. Also unless you can see the report you don't have any idea what you might want to challenge.

I realise we wouldn't know what's on the report before I've received it

Well I've received my report and as thought it is full of things that were not asked or simply did not happen.
The report is filled in like we went through all of the questionnaire together and I answered all the questions, when in fact she asked me a few basic questions and said it was over.
There wasn't any points on the report but comparing it with the guide it seems like I have scored 8 points for Dailey living and 10 points for mobility.
I really don't know if I could manage another appeal, especially since I've just read that just a MR can take 6 months now

I've never seen an MR take six months without the DWP actually losing the request, times do seem to be extended; the DWP are quoting around 3 months but we are seeing shorter times on the forum for the majority of members.

I've just looked at the guide again and IF I'm reading it correctly and IF my calculations are correct, then it seems I should be awarded standard rate foe both Dailey living and mobility?

So the report seems to be supportive of this award.
