Could anyone tell me what this means please

It means that DWP oppose the appeal. Obviously that is what you would expect - if they didn't oppose they would have made an award.

Does this mean we will have to go for a hearing or they are just closing the case thanks

This means that your hearing will go ahead.

Can I just say to anyone having to go to a court hearing to get pip defiantly go ahead with it I’ve been fighting for a year for my son and the appeal was successful 
with getting 0 points from phone consultations he ended up with 29 points and has been awarded pip for life worth all the hard work in the end x

Congratulations on the outcome.
(Note - it’s a tribunal, not a court.)

Great news. The longest PIP award is 10 years with a light touch review. There's no indefinite PIP awards.
