Covid CDL question.

I've had my class B for years now and in February I tested for my class A and passed. About 2 weeks after passing my test we shut down for covid, all the DMV'S were closed for weeks then finally they reopened by scheduled appointments only in the state of Oregon. I scheduled my appointment but it was almost 4 months out. When the time had came to finally update my license I had contracted covid. I was down for about 3 weeks then I rescheduled another appointment. Again this one was 3 months out. I just went to that appointment on Friday and was told I couldn't update my license because it was past the 6 month time frame. So all that money and time was wasted.

I asked the DMV clerk why cdl holders don't get extentions like every other scenario and she told me it was a federal law and they couldn't do anything. The company where I tested said if there was a way he would help, but I'm not sure where t go from here.

Am I seriously screwed out of this, or is there someone to talk to?

 

This was for the license, they are saying I have to retake the test because I didn't get to dmv within 6 months.
