I won PIP via a tribunal backdated to March 2022, how do I get the 2022 COL payment?

Hi,

So I recently won my tribunal for PIP. I was awarded the enhanced rate for daily living and standard rate for mobility after initially being awarded nothing by the DWP. This has been backdated to March 2022. I believe this makes me eligible as qualifying for last years Cost of Living payment, correct? How do I actually get it though, as obviously now time has well passed whenever the government were checking eligibility, and I doubt they're retrospectively checking.

For context my decision has been accepted by the DWP, I received the call asking if I'd been to hospital/prison etc., the text message confirming my award, and they've told me my letter is in the post.

It should automatically be paid to you, it's £150. If you don't receive it in the next few weeks give PIP a ring.

Would you expect to receive it in the backpay I'm due imminently then? I kind of thought PIP and COL might have been separate payments.

It will be paid as a separate payment.
