Did you send in a submission in support of your claim?

If you have received notice of your hearing then you only have a short period in which to send anything to the Tribunal Service, it must be with them no later than seven days before the hearing.

If there is still time then I would encourage you do to do so.

Even if there is not time I would encourage you to put some notes together for your own assistance, awards are made by the claimant showing that you meet the criteria, so I would concentrate on this first. Issues with the assessment report can be important but they are unlikely to result in the Decision being overturned

There's a sample appeal submission in the Submissions PDF in the PIP area that might give you some structure and ideas as to what to include.
