Hi Bron,
That is really good news! As Phrank said you can't be sure that the assessor 'will do the dirty on you'!
Before I read your very last post on here, I was going to comment about where on earth would you find a football sized room to walk around? I could only conceive that this might be somewhere like an Amazon warehouse!
Take a good look at the award notice when it arrives. Make sure that the award properly reflects your disabilities as often DWP underscore. You can appeal if you feel the award is too low. That said if you have mostly the right points and are happy with the award no appeal will be needed!
Well done.

Thank you I will wait to see the award notice first but I had thought that I would very declined due to the assessment I had gone through. I will add though that this forum and all the advice I have had from your online information has been a godsend. This forum got me through my ESA application many years ago which I have held on to and now this so whatever the outcome of the award notice thanks for every single bit of advice I have been given over the years.

That is true, they rang my friend the next day after his assessment, without any warning.

Hi, I've been awarded standard on both. I felt I should have had enhanced for mobility but I think the 'football sized room' question got me. Anyway I am not going further with it and am going to accept what I have been given... Haven't got the heart or energy to fight it tbh.
I just want to thank everyone especially the guides to help me get this far.

Hi Bron
Many congratulations on the award. It may not be what you were hoping for but you have done well done for getting this far.
Even though you are not going further with it, it would be a good idea to get a copy of the assessors report just for your own record.
