It would depend on how good the written reports are!
The DWP Decision Maker has no medical training and the bulk of assessors are either nurses or physiotherapists, so I would have some concern over their ability to interpret the scans and x-rays. So, if the reports are good I would probably not go with the scans, you'll do no harm including them but may not reap any benefits either.
