I am unaware of any time limit for a fresh DLA application.
Can you supply any reference for this?

I made my first claim last August and was awarded LRC, went to Tribunal (only for the care component) in November with no change. So put in new claim just after Tribunal late November and was awarded MRC & HRM.

So no six months gap?

HB58

I don't think there is any time limit regarding re-application for DLA (unlike ESA).

I would be inclined to go to the tribunal/appeal. At least then if it goes in your favour any payment will be back dated. Good luck.

You may find this video of use.

It is a video by the tribunals service explaining their procedure.
This is specifically for ESA, but a DLA tribunal is mostly identical.

You do know that you have one month after the refusal of the reconsideration to make an appeal?
And that you can still make a 'late appeal' - if you have good cause for not making an appeal at the time up to 13 months after the decision?
If you're outside the month, practically a fresh application, ideally with more evidence if you can supply it, may be the better option, as the late appeal may be refused, but take some time to be refused.
