    Hi @hathey1, and welcome! So sorry to heat about your experience. When was the final date you could appeal by? There are sometimes ways around this- I've moved your post to the PIP/DLA category where hopefully our members will be able to help.

    Oh I'm so sorry to hear this @hathey1, it sounds like you're dealing with a lot at the moment even without your benefits situation. You can still appeal the decision after the deadline if you have a valid reason, as you do. Here is some more information from Citizens Advice on doing so. Do let us know if you have any questions and we'll advise where we can.
