    Yes.

    You have done the right thing in gathering evidence and submitting it. The DWP are seeking to justify their decision. At the tribunal you will be asked questions to help the tribunal decide for themselves what the correct decision should be.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    The Tribunal won't be interested in anything like that. You need to concentrate on the reasons why you qualify, this is what the Tribunal will want evidence of.
