Hi @riever741 you can put in a formal complaint with the company that assessed you.
With regards to the MR you need to focus on the points you were given and particularly those you disagree with. You can find the criteria at https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/pip-points-system
Do mention the six questions you were not asked.
The most likely outcome will be they will rubber stamp the initial decision, but appeals have a high success rate.As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.

Hi @riever741
As @Geoark says, a complaint re the practices of the assessment company and the MR you have already started.
Again to second Geoark, remember to compartmentalise the two issues - the incorrect information from the medical assessor is one relevant point in the appeal, but not the main point. The main issue you need to address in the MR and subsequent appeal is how you meet the descriptors.
Good luck, and stay in touch!
