Can I claim back the costs of the report?

I’ve been on DLA since 2009 after my TBI
I was declined for pip and had to appeal
because they wanted an updated
neuro report I had to pay £500 pounds
to have done it went to tribunal and I was awarded pip plus back payments
can I claim back the costs of the report

Between the preverbal rock and a hard place is our poor Andyac. So what does he have to do to show the DWP that the 2009 evidence is in fact reliable - he asks the consultant to supply an updated version at a cost of £500.
He has no other choice - but the DWP say that he should not obtain any evidence that he has to pay for. If he does it is down to him.
Maybe he should have insisted that the DWP get it?
No answer to this.
