Yes, that should have been "cannot interfere"
I think you need to speak to the DWP again to confirm that an appeal has actually been lodged.
An appeal must be in writing, whilst it does not have to be on a GL24 appeal form, any letter requesting one must clearly identify that you wish to appeal and must also include the basic information required on the GL24.
If a letter is not correctly worded then at best, the DWP will contact the claimant to correct the errors, and at worst, the request mayt not be considered an appeal, but a request for a Reconsideration.
It is important that you are given a definitive statement by the DWP, as their is an absolute limit of 13 months for making an appeal from when the original Decision was made, and by your posting you are already over this.
As you have called a number of times with different results, you are entitle to escalate the issue to a Customer Services manager, which normally requires a call back.
You mentioned that you had some help from a Welfare Advice agency, have you spoken to them again about the problems you are having, they may be able to give you more detailed advice and assistance that we can do on the forum?
Anything your MP is able to do, will definitely be of assistance, so do not hesitate to contact them again with an update.
