Track letters, appeals, benefits, housing, bills, council issues and life admin before they become problems. Sorted lists every UK deadline that matters, when it’s due, what happens if you miss it, and the tool that helps.

If you owed more than £1,000 last year, HMRC asks for half of next year’s estimated tax in advance, due the same day as your return.
Second half of the next year’s estimated tax. Often missed because it’s six months after the main deadline.

After the Mandatory Reconsideration Notice, you have one month to appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal (HMCTS).
DWP reviews most PIP claims every 3 or 10 years. They send a form (AR1) — usually you get 4 weeks to return it.
