When was the decision letter dated?
What date did you ring up to request an appeal?Alice Holt Forest situated some 4 miles south of Farnham forms the most northerly gateway to the South Downs National Park.0 -
Letter dated 22nd October. Received or rather opened Friday when I got back as had been away, called first thing Monday when office open.0

Mandatory Reconsiderations usually have to be made within 30 days of the date on the decision letter so that doesn't sound like a reason for not being able to ask for one in your case.
When the DWP guy said you couldn't appeal did he give a reason?0 -
The reason given on the phone was because it was linked to the review being inked to the change in the law ( letters being sent due to the new legislation). I found this strange to be honest as if this new legislation was in place back in 2016 I.e. mental I wou d have appealed then and I did back then as my daughter for mobility DLA. When she changed over to PIP she was awarded carers but not mobility. She has to be accompanied at all times. She had to be then and has to be now. He condition has deteriorated or rather worsened in a lot of ways. She gets far more anxious. Added to this because she is now legally an adult she has been 're assessed' under the Dr and her diagnosis for the spectrum has been updated on her medical records recently.0

Can't see why you couldn't MR this.
Does the letter have a para explaining what you can do if you don't agree with their decision?
