The primary question is, were you suffering from these "more problems" at the time of the Decision?

If yes, then you can use evidence related to these as part of your appeal. However, if these are a new problems, then your Tribunal cannot take them into account when reviewing your case.

If your condition has deteriorated, and you have evidence to support this, then you can make a new claim for ESA for this reason, which can run in parallel with your appeal.

Hope this explains it.

The Decision Maker does not need to have been aware of these new problems, but you do need to have been suffering from them at the time that the Decision you are appealing was made.

If these problems manifested themselves after the Decision was made, then they will not be accepted as evidence by the Tribunal as they can only review evidence related to your condition at the time of the Decision.

Yes, as long as you had the problem before the original Decision was made, and have evidence to support that, then it can be included as evidence in your appeal.
