Yeah, that sounds about right, wishface, regarding ESA.
Rgarding the appeal, there will most likely be two people there - a judge and a doctor - (well, actually there will probably be three, but the other person, if there is one, will just be a security person, who's only there to deal with people likely to get violent) - they'll ask you questions, about how things affect you, and so on, and then they'll spend some time discussing you case - the doctor is there to inform the judge's decision, the judge is there to see that the decision fits the law - you may or may not find out whether the appeal is succesfull or not on the day (depends on when in the day the hearing is).
Oh, and you should get an opportunity to submit any evidence you may have before hand.
Hope that's of some help.
