Are there any circumstances where a benefit decision can be appealed more than a year after the date of the original decision?

The normal limit is 13 months, the only exception would be if the claimant could show that they had not been informed of the Decision in the first place, but this is usually difficult to prove and would require the DWP to admit that they never sent the Decision Notice in the first place or that they sent it to the wrong address.
