    Hi chris and welcome

    ESA and PIP use different criteria and although having a PIP award will help, by no means will it guarantee an ESA awardm
    Depending on area tribunals can take 6-8 months or more. You could ring the tribunal clerk for an update on waiting times

    You should have an acceptance letter from the tribunal with the phone number on it
    When did you send in your submission ?

    You should have sent it to the tribunal service. They would then have written accepting your appeal. The DWP then have to prepare their case and send you a copy
