If you have appealed using a GL24 form, then the DWP will carry out a Reconsideration of your case, if the Decision is not revised, then your papers will be submitted to the Tribunal Service for a hearing.
If you did not use a GL24, then the liklihood is that DWP will just carry out a Reconsideration, you would then have the opportunity to lodge a formal appeal.
These matters are explained in more detail in our DLA appeal guides that are available on the following link, please have a read and if you have specific questions, come back to the forum.
