Welcome to Appeals!
So sorry to hear about the situation.

Is it acceptable to take hard copies to prove the validity of what you are saying - but for them not to be photocopied and included in the 'pack?'
You may have seen our general guidance here:
https://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeals/general#a7Technically the panel could refuse to accept late evidence. They could take a decision without it, or adjourn the case to a later date (perhaps September).
I doubt that they would in your particular case - but I can't offer any guarantees.
I suspect there's unlikely to be a problem with a single letter - but the lengthier the late evidence is, the more difficult it becomes for the panel who are usually 'working against the clock'.
It's worth noting that those involved in appeals are used to handling highly sensitive information.
It would be an offence under data protection legislation if such information were not kept securely and not destroyed as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was provided.

DH has a serious health condition
Although it's very important the panel should be aware of your family circumstances, and see some evidence, my advice would be to try and focus as much as possible on how the general family situation will impact on the child.
Is there evidence from primary school that the child is upset by your circumstances, and would they be willing to write in support of your reasons for wanting a place at the school you are appealing for?
