    At no point was I warned that I would forfeit my right to compensation if I didn't respond...
    Simplest might be to find the letter and ask where your £1000 is rather than assuming you have lost the right to it.
    The OP will not have had a right to compensation, they will have had a discretionary offer designed to ease the process, they missed it and I not totally sure the offer was meant for them in the first place as they are renting, it should have gone to the landlord (I know they said that was a local authority, but wires do get crossed).
