The ATOS assessor report should be produced on the day of your assessment, so if it was only posted on that day, ATOS will not have received it in time time to look at it.

I realise that my gp sent it to late but the report was sent to atos but the dwp have not got it shouldnt atos have forwarded this on to dwp when they recieved it.

They should have, but if it was not returned with your file, which seems likely, then it would be very easy for it to fail to make it the Decision MAker who dealt with your case.

Unless a document has your full name and your National Insurance Number it is all to easy for it to disappear into the black hole that is the DWP internal mail system.

You can send a copy with any appeal request that you make, the DM is still able to take medical advice, even during a Reconsideration.
