Back pay

itsmeyouknow100

I'm still awaiting my decision but if they go with the assessors report then I should be awarded standard for both living and mobility. I was just wondering when they start the payment from. I first approached them in the end of November. I initially sent a letter stating that I would like to apply , because I couldn't face ringing them. I then received a form to fill in asking me for details so they could send me the how your disability affects you form. I returned the initial form mid January and had a text saying they received it. So will my award (if Im awarded) be backdated to the date of the text in January, or the date I wrote in December. 
Its agonising waiting for a decision.

Hello itsmeyouknow100

The award should be backdated to the date you put on your application form (not your PIP2 How does your disability affect you form)

Hope that helps

Ok thanks, so the date in January that I returned the initial form, not the date I rang requesting the form

In your previous comment you said you couldn't face ringing them so you wrote to request the form to be sent to you. If so then it should be the date they sent you the very first form.

Usually when you ring to start a claim it's from this date it's paid from.

Ok thank you,

Just received my notice and they have back dated it to my very first letter requesting the forms. A month sooner than I was expected, so I am really pleased
