HMRC have said that they may accept a claim after the deadline if you have a reasonable excuse. 

Examples of reasons they may accept 

your partner or another close relative died shortly before the claim deadline 
you had an unexpected stay in hospital that prevented you from dealing with your claim 
you had a serious or life-threatening illness, including Coronavirus related illnesses, which prevented you from making your claim (and no one else could claim for you) 
a period of self-isolation prevented you from making your claim (and no one else could make the claim for you) 
your computer or software failed just before or while you were preparing your online claim 
service issues with HMRC online services prevented you from making your claim 
a fire, flood, or theft prevented you from making your claim 
postal delays that you could not have predicted prevented you from making your claim 
delays related to a disability you have prevented you from making your claim 
an HMRC error prevented you from making your claim
