PIP Assessment

Hi everyone
Just looking for some advice please.
I have received a copy of my PIP assessment and surprisingly it was completely correct. The assessor listened and also read my medical evidence in full, so was lovely during my assessment and I'm very grateful that she was honest on the report.

I have added up the descriptors and she has recommended 15 on daily living and 20 on mobility.

Could anyone advise if the decision makers normally go with recommendations?

I'm so anxious.

Thank you in advance

They asked me if I worked and I told them yes, then they wanted me explain briefly what I do, but more what type of job (office, manual) that type of thing, how far away work place was how I got there, if I had any special requirements at work (chair, footstool, heater) or extra allowances for time taken to do things. I think that's it for work, oh I had ever been referred to occupation health or how much my condition affected my attendance at work.

At no time did I tell them the company I worked for or any names of management

I had my assessment on the Wednesday and I got a text the following Friday saying I had been awarded pip then a letter the following Wednesday saying what I I had been awarded.

I think they asked me if I had pets but can't be 100% sure.

I suffer with endometriosis past 10 years. I applied for pip and was refused. Can anyone help as I am really suffering and even my gp thinks I am eligible for it as most days I can hardly move. Any suggestions please. Thanks
