ESA50 questionnaire & appeal

Hi, I am currently waiting to hear about the outcome of the reconsideration stage of my appeal to be put in the support group. As it has been 6 months since I was put in the WRAG I have just received a new ESA50 form to fill out from ATOS. Now if I am successful and am placed in the support group, after filling out the questionnaire, what then happens about my appeal , if I still haven't heard anything by then? Would I still have to go to a tribunal (if the reconsideration was not in my favour) even though they have put me in the support group because of the ESA50 (hopefully without having to attend a medical)!? This is all so complex and ridiculous. Many thanks.

Hi Gordon, it was 5 months ago when I sent off my appeal form and it was 3 months ago when I sent off additional evidence. I did have confirmation of the appeal but nothing about the additional evidence. I did think about contacting them but didn't want to rock the boat, so to speak. I did see one thread where somebody had found out that the decision to put them in the support group from the WRAG (after reconsideration) was after one month of sending off for an appeal. Is this usually what happens if someone is successful at the reconsideration stage, that they will hear back after a month? If this is the case then i'll have to psyche myself up for the tribunal, as it's been a few months since I heard anything off the DWP?
