    Hi missm

    You receive the paperwork bundle to check that all of your evidence is included for the tribunal to assess. Many people also use the bundle to prepare thier submission to the tribunal as it makes it much easier to reference to page and paragraph the points that you want to make

    Yes, make sure you take the whole bundle with you on the day.  At my hearing the judge asked to look at my bundle to make sure that I had received all the papers.

    Yes, it is possible (though I understand it only happens in a minority of cases) that the DWP can withdraw their objection to the appeal before the hearing, especially if you send in further strong supporting medical evidence.

    You should send in further evidence direct to the Tribunals Service who will send copies to the DWP.

    Two weeks. But you can phone tribunal clerk and ask how long a wait there'll be for a hearing date.

    To find out more about how to appeal, download the HM Courts and Tribunals Service's SSCS1 (Notice of appeal) against a decision of the department for Work and Pensions)’,which you should print out, fill in and then send to the appeals centre. Ensure that you fill out every section to avoid the appeal being rejected, and remember that you must include a copy of your mandatory reconsideration notice. The address to send it to can be found at the bottom of the form.
