Have I added too much evidence for my PIP application?

Please, can anyone help me. I am just filling in my application for PIP (swopping over from DLA). My question is, I have attached a very large wad of letters and paperwork to help with my claim, at the back of the form. However, on a different site today, someone said that you should not add too much, making it like they have to try to read through it like war and peace. So now I am wondering what I should get rid of. I know you won't be aware of what I have added, but I felt it was all relevant in letting them know all about me. Please, can anyone advise me?
Thank you.
Tramelia

Stay in touch, and don't hesitate to ask any further questions.
You might find it useful to have a look at this resource on PIP assessments and check out some of the links on the page.

I’ve just won my appeal today and I had 154 pages worth so I don’t think there should be a limit on what to send medical wise
