PIP Appeal Deadline

Hellio,
I have decided i am going to make an appeal against my PIP mandatory reconsideration notice letter which is dated 7th August. It says i have 1 month from the date of 7th August to make an appeal (which i can do online). Would submitting my appeal online before midnight of 7th September be within the 1 month time period they have given? Or do i have to submit my appeal online by midnight of the 6th September?
Anyone with any knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated - as just having that monday 7th sept allows me to have working day to make some calls to get advice before i suhmit online.
many thanks
Rachel

Hi,Completely ignore the 1 month deadline because it doesn't exist. You have 13 months to request the appeal. HMCTS never refuse an appeal request if it's outside the 1 month deadline.
-
oh right. They do specify that if someone is unable to submit within 1 month then they must provide a reason why.
DWP can object to the reasons specified for the appeal being late ..... -
Yes indeed they can but HMCTS never refuses a request after the 1 month deadline. Remember HMCTS are not DWP.

Hi and welcome to the community @hengster glad you have joined us and I hope your appeal goes well and you get what you want.

Hello @hengster! How are you? Hope you're having a nice weekend
Obviously the sooner you send your appeal back the better, so that you can hopefully get a successful outcome and then put the process behind you.
Good luck with your claim, let us know how you get on
