I suggest that you email the assessor back and point out the things that are missing - and ask for the report to be updated as I did

The taxi support should be on there. The ergonomic chair etc won't be, but it should say they recommend an ergonomic assessment.

You usually need a separate assessment (in person - they come to your house) so someone will contact you to set this up. I had my needs assessment like a month ago and I still have a few weeks to wait until someone can come round. They will then look at your setup, how you use it, what pain you get if any etc and then they will recommend equipment.

I suggest that you go back and ask for these to be included before the report is sent to student finance

Hi, it’s quite common for some items discussed during the needs assessment to not appear in the initial report. Usually, recommendations like taxi support or ergonomic equipment (chair, keyboard, desk) are listed separately or need further approval from funding bodies or the assessor's manager.
I would suggest replying to the email politely and asking for clarification mention specifically that these items were discussed and you would like to confirm if they will be included.
