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?
If you have a look at the PIP Appeal guide it explains how to complete the SSCS1, you do not have to go into detail as to why you are requesting the appeal.
Appeals usually take 3-4 months

It can't hurt and may head off any query that they have.

Yes you need to explain your reasons for appeal on the SSCS1, but you do not have to go into detail. Your submission, which you would send (if you do), once you have all of the DWP documents would be a detailed response to the issues raised.
So you might include a short sentence on the SSCS1 and multiple paragraphs in your submission for each reason, however, it is up to you how you organise your appeal, these are just suggestions.
