Hi lynne and welcome
In some cases an MR can improve your award, but the greater success is achieved at tribunal

Thank you do you know how long it takes for it to be seen by a tribunal please many thanks,

Typically a tribunal hearing can be 4-8 months, but it depends on area and whether you opt for an oral or paper based hearing.

Thank you for your help.

Is it sooner if you have a paper hearing.
-
A paper hearing can be fitted in when ever the tribunal have space, so in thoery it can be quicker. The down side is that you do not have the opportunity to put your case and the panel cannot ask you to clarify anything so the success rate of a paper hearing is likely to be less than that of an oral hearing

Hello emmawat and welcome
It will be easier to help you if you can start a new topic
It is not that uncommon for Letters advising that you are due an assement become mislaid. It is also very hard to prove that you had no notification
Have you recently moved ?
Have there been any postal delays in your area ?
The first thing you must do is ask for a mandatory reconsideration explaining that you had no notification.
It would be a very good idea to get f2f advice from CAB asap
There is lots of info on here about MR and appeals. please have a look around and come back with questions
