Meanwhile I shouldn't send any other letters or evidence other than the SSCS1 form? I send them once I have this reference number do I?


Yes it's an SSCS1 that you need to send.

You should start thinking about your submission now, but wait to send anything until you have received the DWP, that way you will know all of the issues that the DWP have raised and make sure that you answer them.

Also where do I send the appeal to?
I didn't find any info on this and when I asked the PIP member of staff, he said its up to us to get the form from job centre. But the job centre hadn't heard of SSCS1 form till a member of staff there googled it and printed it..

Can I not just back my argument against the reasons they gave in the "mr decision letter"?

If that's what you want do, but I would not advise your doing so, the DM's SoR is itself based on the assessment report, if you do not address the issues that this raises then the Tribunal Panel may prefer the assessors view of your limitations rather than your own.

I see. I haven't had a look at the SSCS1 firm yet but do I not mention anything in that which I don't agree with the DWP on?
Also if then the DWP will then write so I explain points, then I write back and so on, how long does the appeal process take approximately?
