    Hi :-)
    Unfortunatley unless we are "able" to source information from places like this and even remember or think about these things ..no one else is gonna tell us ..this is how they set the system up to be such a horrendous nightmare for people .
    Its totally disgusting and unjust.
    The DWP should send a simple understandable fact sheet out with their "bumph" on the very first page,
    Explaining "how" to do this all properly with clearly written step by step instructions.
    But obviously i would be totally away with the faries to hope for anything like that from them.
    How far into the process are you love?
    And how are you feeling about it all ?
    We need to just wait and see if anyone replies here and then hopefully it wont be too late for either of us to get that copy in :-)

    I agree, they seem to make these processes overly complicated...I'm usually pretty good with paperwork and online forms too!!   

    I sent my appeal online 2 weeks ago (I think!) and got an immediate confirmation email but haven't heard anything else since.  I'm not really sure how long the 'bundle' takes to arrive and have been wondering about that this week...  When the bundle does arrive, I'll send the extra evidence (that I still haven't got yet!) plus a more detailed 'full' appeal letter to wherever it says.  I've been taking advice from various people both on here and on elsewhere online and hope I'm doing what they've suggested...tbh it's fried my brain a bit so wouldn't surprise me if I've got something wrong already! :|

    As for how I'm feeling about it, I don't really expect to get awarded anything due to nature of my conditions.  It's difficult for me to fit perfectly into the descriptors.  However as I didn't get awarded any points at the initial assessment or MR stage, I don't really have anything to lose by going to tribunal.  I've assumed it to be around 12 months before I get a hearing date so have got more immediate issues to be worrying about currently, PIP isn't at the front of mind yet. :) 

    Reading this thread, I will make sure to add a copy of the full MR letter to the rest of the paperwork I send after receiving the bundle - unless I'm suggested otherwise in the meantime.
    When I did mine online I received 2 emails . 1st one was saying they'd received the application and the 2nd one couple days later to say it had been logged. The 2nd one included a link so you can track progress and it'll tell you the date when dwp have to reply to the courts by . I think once the courts receive the paperwork from the dwp then thsy send you the bundle 
    Thanks for this, I've just checked, and not received the second email.  I received the 1st one on Oct 1st (2 weeks ago).  So I guess it hasn't been logged yet? :( 

    I've just checked the junk folder and it isn't in there either.

    I'd definitely ring the courts then and check what's happening with it
