Hi @hayley67
You can choose to go to the hearing. This is called an Oral Hearing.You can choose not to go to the hearing. This is called a Paper Hearing.In very exceptional cases an 'Out of Centre' hearing can be arranged.You can claim reasonable travelling expenses if you go to the hearing.
There is more information about PIP appeals here.Scope
