its true the appeal process does take a while, could take longer then 6 months as well , best way would be to provide further evidence on the point they refused you on with the appeal and if they are satisfied with the evidence they will overturn their decision before it goes to court , this does not take that long.
Now first thing if you didnt attach a tax coding notice with your application than you should call hmrc and ask for your tax coding notice, basically it will show the tax code applied to you for this year and it will also say the name of your employer. This is a good document it will show hmrc are aware that you are working for that company.
also speak to hmrc and see if they can send you a letter/document to show the amount of tax and nic you have paid to them so far.
Secondly since your paying tax i assume the company is paye registered, a quick question did your payslips have have paye ref number on it?
Also you should go to the accountant and ask them if your tax and nic payment are upto date. Get a letter from your account to say that your are an employee of the company, with the tax ref on it, also the tax district, your nic number, job title in the company, date job started, hours worked, gross wage . Also you could show how much nic and tax you have paid to hmrc so far.
Also ask the accountant if he can provide a document they might have from hmrc to confirm company exists i.e. a letter from the hmrc to the company with the company details on it , ref numbers and so on. Attach this with a letter from the company confirming you are employed by them and that they are registered with hmrc.
hope this helps
