ESA assessment

Hi guys

I sent a lot of evidence and medical records with my ESA questionnaire.
I attended my face face assessment
Do you get many cases where a claimant is awarded the same as they were on before, without having to go for a mandatory reconsideration or appeal?
I thought the DWP turned everybody down in the 1st instance in order to save money whilst claimants put in a MC or appeal ??

Thanks
