thanks guys you rock
We have limited experience of this. I think it unlikely that the Decision Maker will place much weight on anything you send in unless you can show a serious error in the report.

Do you mean the ? That's a sad smiley.

No, the OP says the ATOS DA gave her a hug!
I've never heard that one before either.
(But nothing surprises me anymore.)

You have nothing to lose by trying. By providing the assessment report in advance of the Decision being made the DWP are opening the door to claimants making comment on that report, however, historically the DWP have resisted interference at this stage of the process.
Also, as no Decision has been made at this stage, the actions that the DWP have to perform when receiving new information is limited.

It sounds like a human response to someone being anxious., if you think it is inappropriate then you should make a complaint.
