This was very helpful thank you!! They did have a copy of my assessment report but a shorter one and not the full thing, so I could potentially try that. My only hesitation is the people who did my report (I went privately as the waiting list was 3 years too!), were super lovely and made it very positive and optimistic, which was lovely for me but I feel like the DWP might latch on to some things that don't feel doable for me. I had it at a time too where I hadn't quite realised how much I was impacted by some things so there's a lot more I could say now in an assessment that would change the report quite a bit but I can't afford to go back for another one, as you said they are so expensive!!
