Anonymous work accusation

A few weeks ago during my annual appraisal my line manager warned me that a member of staff had made a complaint against myself for their perception that during a conversation with them where they had raised a work issue I had allegedly not taken this complaint seriously and in their eyes made a joke of the situation.
My line manager went on to say that the individual making the accusation wanted to remain anonymous, and for this reason refused to elaborate more on the nature, content and timing of the conversation meaning I was unable to defend myself or provide any personal insight.
At the end of the appraisal my line manager, as a summary of my last 6 months performance, made a great point of highlighting this allegation. At the time I signed the appraisal to say that I had received the feedback given, however over the subsequent 2 weeks I became more and more unhappy that my previous 6 months good performance had been overlooked and an anonymous allegation which I was unable to even discuss with my manager had become the negative highlight of this period.
I subsequently put a calendar invitation into my line manager's diary to discuss this allegation and the overall reflection it had on my performance to try to resolve this issue but they rejected my meeting request stating that they were too busy and would discuss when they had more time.That was 3 weeks ago and they have still not intimated when,or if, they will reconvene this meeting to resolve the points I made.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to handle this situation going forward?
