Asking the Tribunal for an extension on my award.?

Hi there new to the site so please bare with me.
I recently had an appeal for PIP and was successful in being awarded the high rate in both components.
When I received my decision notice there was a typo mistake on the length of my award, cut a long story short I had to write back to the tribunal and wait 3 weeks for the Judge to confirm the correction would be allowed.
Due to this I could not apply for a mobility car which I needed. When I received the correction, I went to go. ahead and apply and was told because I was 20 days out of the 12 month deadline I was not successful in my application and I would need DWP or the Tribunal to grant me an extension on my award.
Has as anyone had this or similar happen to them and had a good outcome, very worried I’m could possibly suffer because of a mistake I didn’t make.

Did you have a mobility car to start with? The delay in changing the date made you miss the year you had to get it back?
One of those weeks!
