Hi Peter
If you ask for a mandatory reconsideration more than a month after the date on the decision
letter you must give reasons for being late and the DWP will carry it out if they accept your
reasons.
Decision makers should accept your late request if it is 'reasonable', taking into account factors
including the following:
• You, your partner or dependant have been in hospital or suffered serious illness or one of
them has died
• You were not resident in the UK
• Normal postal services were adversely affected
• You have learning or language difficulties
• There is difficulty getting evidence or information to support your application
• Ignorance or misunderstanding of the law or time limits should be considered when
reasonable
This is not a complete list and each case should be considered on its own merits.
If you do not give reasons for being late they are unlikely to accept it.
You have some good reasons for the lateness. Also remind them you are hard of hearing and can't communicate by phone.
