I am not aware of any mechanism which defers WFIs while you are appealing, however, there are changes to the system which are currently being implemented, that may have a similar effect
First the back end of the process is being changed, which has resulted in the effective termination of all current WFIs awaiting the start of the new system in a couple of months.
Secondly the new system is supposed to take into account the Return to Work Date more effectively so that a claimant is only asked to participate shortly before they are fit to work. How realistic this measure will be is open to debate, but it may make it more likely that you can defer an interview to a time when you are more able to attend.
Hope this helps.
