is the reconsideration separate from the appeal? You say it happens anyway, and as there appears to be a backlog it would indicate that the reconsideration is likely to come through before an appeal.
and, am I able to reiterate any points when I write to them?

The DWP will carry out a Reconsideration first, and if they are unable to change the Decision they will then submit your papers to the Tribunal Service for an appeal.
You can submit further evidence to both of these porcesses, although anything you submit to the DWP should then be passed to the TS.
