Hi, I applied for a CCG for assistance with staying in the community rather than going into care. I currently receive IB, IS and lower mob. and middle care portions of DLA (currently going through a change of circumstances to get the latter upped to higher rate). They awarded me a certain amount and denied about half of what I was asking for. I sent in an appeal stating my reasons and received a letter saying that as they didn't receive it within 28 days so I had 12 days to state why I hadn't sent it sooner. In my reply to that, which I sent Special Delivery because the deadline was 2 days away when I got the letter, I stated that because of my disability I was unable to post letters myself and needed someone else to post letters for me and if there was a delay it would be because of that. I received a letter in reply stating that my reasons weren't good enough and they wouldn't be looking at it again. I can get no further information from anyone only that there is no form of appeal against that final decision. So I need to know whether this is true? If not then what reasons are valid for not having the appeal letter in on time? Finally where can I go from here? Any help would be very grateful received, Thanks in advance, Macky.
