DWP not responding to PIP appeal

in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi all,
I put my original claim in for pip back in May 2021. It was rejected in Nov 2021. I received paperwork explaining which points I had & that I did not qualify for pip. I did the MR which was also rejected.
I received a phone call
2 weeks after the MR letter telling me they had sent the wrong letter - the result was the same, but they hadn’t sent the right letter to do an appeal. It took weeks & several
phone calls to receive the appeal
letter. I have now appealed at the beginning of June. I have been tracking it online & DWP should have responded by the 5th July, but they haven’t. 
Do I need to do anything or do I just wait? 
I’ve never done this before so Im
not sure where I go with it now?
many thanks.

    That's very common. You don't need to do anything.

    Thank you for your reply. Wish I’d found this forum along while ago! 

    Will some one just contact me when things are actually moving along?

    You will be notified when a date is set for the tribunal.
