LCWRA Appeal - COVID-19 issues
The way I understand it, you are trying to challenge the 2020 decision insofar as you can argue that the effective date could be brought forward by using a more favourable supersession ground. That challenge was inside the absolute time limit.
The DM seems to think you are challenging the 2019 decision which, if that is the case, was outside the absolute time limit.
I suspect, frustrating as it is, that the simplest way to resolve this is to write back to them clarifying your intentions and requesting that the MR on the 2020 decision be considered.
P.s. You need to change the file name.
Hi Elliot,
Thanks for this.
I’ll reply back to them and see what happens. Also thanks re. Attachment name, that has now been changed

I’d lodge an appeal with HMCTS as soon as possible and make your position clear to them instead. Don’t wait for DWP to get their knickers in even more of a twist. If you’re right, there’s already an arguable right to appeal irrespective of DWP’s opinion on the matter and you don’t want to miss that deadline as well. An appeal is quite likely the quickest route to success anyway.
Does anyone worry about anything other than the 13 month brick wall for appeals nowadays? On the rare occasions I’m involved in a late appeal they are all admitted without fail.
