Have I left it too long to appeal a CAA assessment?

As I posted a while ago, I had an assessment at CAA Towers last year for a class 1 medical, as I have a history of depression.

In July last year I received the results to say that I will not be granted a medical unless I abstain permanently from alcohol.

Although I've got a few mentions on my medical record of drinking too much, and my blood tests showed that in the weeks running up to the tests I'd drunk more than the "recommended" amount, I felt that it was a ridiculous decision to treat me as a full blown alcoholic.

At the time I tried to forget about the whole thing, particularly as their instructions were to book a follow up session with the specialist (which they'd be expecting me to pay for, on top of everything else!)

​​​​​​Problem is, the whole thing is still on my mind now and I'm wondering what my options are.

Is it too late to appeal against their decision and ask them to revisit it?
