Late Pip Appeal not accepted

Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could advise me, I'm very worried about my late Pip Appeal. I sent in a Pip Appeal last month after received a MR giving me the standard component for both daily living and mobility which was the same as the original pip award on 14/09/2016. I received a decision letter today saying that.
1. (My Name) wishes to appeal a decision refusing Personal Independence Payment. The negative decision was mandatorily reconsidered on 14/09/2019. The appeal was lodged on 06/01/2021 and is therefore outside the prescribed time limit. Having given (My Name) an opportunity to make representations and having considered his fathers letter in reply the time limit for the appeal is not extended.
4. I am not prepared to extended time and the appeal is not to proceed. (My Name) has been refused Personal Independence Payment. Given his evident physical difficulties, he can reapply.
I spoke to a customer service adviser from the tribunal over the phone and wanted to confirm that my original award(Standard living and mobility) will not be changed and she confirmed this however I am still very worried about what was written on the letter. The Tribunal judge spelt my name wrong and wrote the wrong date for the mandatory reconsideration(The MR was on 14/09/2016, not 14/09/2019). The decision letter also states that I have been refused personal independence payment but this is not true at all, they clearly haven't read the MR notice, I was awarded the Standard Living and mobility however I was moved from DLA and I lost my mobility car which is why I wanted to appeal. I am just worried because the Tribunal decision letter saying that the PIP benefit appeal cannot continue also states that it will be sent to all parties including the DWP so I hope that it is not misinterpreted by them and they don't decide to take away my award. Any advice would be appreciated.

If the tribunal letter does say the appeal time has not been extended because the MR was in 2016 I think you are entitled to ask tribunal service to confirm in writing that they are refusing to accept the appeal and give you a factually correctly written letter.
Be assured that the fact the appeal is not proceeding has no impact on your existing award.0 -
Ha. When I posted yesterday I’d forgotten we are now in 2021 not 2020, an ‘early year’ moment!

Username_removed said:Not following this really.If the MR was September 2019 and the appeal was lodged in January 2021 then the 13 month absolute limit expired in October 2020 and that’s the very last date you could have appealed. Anything lodged after that would be disallowed without representations as there’s nothing to debate.If the MR was September 2016 then the 13 months expired in October 2017.
As the decision appears to correctly refuse you the right to appeal, DWP will understand that nothing has been determined as the appeal has ended before it began.I’d be interested to know what I’ve misunderstood here. Have you actually appeared outside of the 13 months or is one of the above dates wrong?0 -
@ elephata, Hello as you stated you where migrating from DLA to PIP. The two benefits have different claiming criteria and that’s why you lost your mobility car because your mobility was greater than the PIP descriptor of 20 meters. DLA has a longer distance which you where able to meet the criteria. A lot of claimants find this out one the migration has happened.1
