Hello all, I’m just wondering if I report a change of circumstances, and I get awarded a higher rate, would it be back paid to the date I rang up? Or would I just get the higher amount from then going forward. Thanks.

Backdated to the date you phoned. If you haven’t already requested a change of circumstance please be aware you are putting your current award in jeopardy too and I advise you to seek expert advice.
https://advicelocal.uk/ is a good place to start.

It would be from the date you rang to report the changes. Before reporting changes please make sure you fully understand the PIP descriptors and it's possible to score more points for a higher award A worsening of condition doesn't automatically entitle you to a higher award.
