been waiting since last june but yesterday got my pip appeal date for March 1st at long last so will know in 2 weeks time if i will get pip for my epilepsy.
it tells me in letter that if i have any more evidence to send it in at least 7 days before but as i dont trust them or royal mail can i take it on the day?
also i have never been to one of these before so what am i to expect and i have heard that they have someone from DWP at these appeals is that true and if so do they try and get the judge to go with them?

There's not always a DWP representative there, only sometimes. There's also a judge and a DR. They will ask you questions based on how your condition affects you daily. Answer them with as much detail as possible. You can take someone with you for support.
Sometimes they can't make a decision on the day. If this happens they will write to you within a couple of days. Good luck.0 -
It might help to supply evidence relating to these points:

IT IS A VERY BAD IDEA to take evidence with you on the day, that you could have sent in before. DO as the TS asks
