Legacy Housing benefit appeal

I am at a loss as to the reasoning of my local council. In 2012, an email clearly headed 'APPEAL' was sent to them by email. They failed to lodge at the Tribunal and they are now saying they took the email as a request for reconsideration because they thought that was what I meant. At the time, they did not ask me to clarify my intention and they did not inform me that they were reconsidering their decision. Even after their reconsideration and not changing their decision, they still did not inform me despite having my contact email and knowing fully well I was out of the Country.
They are now objecting to the Tribunal admitting the appeal because they think it is out of time.

Yes it is a very long time ago but they caused the delay by failure to inform. They have no right to object to the admission of the appeal. -
Thanks Mike. I like your use of words. I have learned so much from you over the years.
Back to the topic, it will be unreasonable for the Council to claim they are acting in my best interest for hesitating to lodge appeals at HMCTS. The header 'APPEAL' is obvious.
