    They will backdate provided you don’t owe DWP money. Excellent news.

    Was this awarded by a Tribunal? If so then it can take up to 8 weeks to pay what is owed and to put your new award into payment.

    If it was a review started by DWP they don’t usually pay you the difference between your previous award and your existing award.

    Due to backlogs for reviews they have been known to pay you the difference between both awards but not always.

    It seems unfair that they do and they don't.  Is this down to the DM's discretion do you think ?

    I was lucky and they did for me when I got 8 months difference between Standard and Enhanced daily living

    Seems like a lottery ...
