Hello Madee93

Any back pay is paid to the date that you started your cliam.

I note from another thread that you're claiming UC. If you have been awarded PIP you will need to tell UC and then the benefits cap will be lifted.

Morning i got my award text today can I contact UC to lift benefit cap now or do I need to wait for my award letter ?

Wait for your award letter for the dates so the deductions taken can be backdated to the start of your PIP award.

It sometimes doesn't flag up that's why it's best to wait, you will be required to request the backdate of the cap too so you will need the dates for that.
