Unfortunately you won’t be entitled to the difference between her DLA award and the PIP. Her PIP payments will start about 7 weeks after the decision was made.

You should receive a last DLA payment.

It doesn't get backdated because it's a completely different benefit, just like you would not have to pay back the difference if you got a lower award.
