Stopped for 20 mins w/ migraine, appealed and no reply

Hi all and thanks for reading.
I stopped in a private car park for 19 minutes - I had such a bad migraine I couldn't drive.
I received a PCN for £100 from Civil Enforcement who had my car on camera.
I decided to appeal as I had whatsapp conversation evidence that I was very unwell on the day.
According to the parking fine website - "Your appeal has been received on 2021-10-07"
I have read about this 56 day rule - meaning 2/12/21.
However I have received a letter 18/11/21 by mail saying my debt is £140 (no prior warning of increase).
It says this will go up to £170 by (coincidentally) 2/12/21.
My questions are as follows
1 Am I likely to win the appeal for being unwell? Google brings up no similar examples
2 Will the 56 day rule kick in on 2/12/21?
3 Am I right in saying that the fine shouldn't be increasing as I am still appealing?
All replies gratefully received thank you!

Headache or not, you were parked.
What is this fifty-six day rule you speak of?
How is the preparation of your PoPLA appeal coming along?4 -
Have you read the newbies? Have you complained to your MP?You never know how far you can go until you go too far.1

The 56 day rule is for windscreen PCN , an NTD , nothing to do with anpr cameras ! No NTD was issued
Anpr has a 14 days rule If using POFA for keeper liability to get an NTK PCN to the keeper
Popla won't rule on mitigation or illness IMHO , so imho an admitted driver would !ose on that particular point , plus would lose on grace periods too. Parked is parked ! No attempt was made to rectify the situation after the driver recovered ! They did nothing !
Keeper and driver are 2 different entities , but are sometimes the same actual person
1) No
2) No
3) Yes , so complain about it to the BPA AOS team with copies of the paperworkCEL had 35 days to accept or reject the appeal3 -
Were you sufficiently incapacitated as to be unable to leave your car to Pay? If so read MC1 here

I think the OP may have read stuff about council PCNs by mistake?
If you had an appeal rejection letter you had a POPLA code. What date was on that letter?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Are you on any prescribed medication? Did you have an aura?
