You can ask for an adjournment, but they are not required to grant one.

The key issue with regard this new evidence is whether you can show that it is relevant to the time of the original Decision, if you cannot, then it will be excluded from the hearing. So any report that is produced must state that in addition to showing how you are now, it is also reflective of how you were then or that how you were then, can be easily extrapolated.

Write to the Tribunal Service office dealing with your appeal, do not forget to include the reference number that should be on any letters you have received from them.
