Pip Back Payment Help

Hello all. I have a question I am worried about.
I applied for PIP on the 1st March. On Tuesday 20th I had a text to say I had been awarded PIP which is great.
I called the automated line which said I would be paid 272 on 17th July. My question is will I be paid from the date I claimed and receive back pay or do I just wait until the July payment. I tried calling them but was in a queue for over an hour so gave up as was feeling anxious. Thank you. Any advice be appreciated.

The automated payment line doesn’t give any information about any money you are owed. This will be paid as a separate payment.It will be paid from the date you rang to start your claim. (Assuming you didn’t transfer from DLA)
The automated payment line has been known to give incorrect advice too. Though the payment it told you suggests your award is standard daily living, no mobility.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Well that does make sense. Thank you for the reply and advice.
Do you think the back dated pay would come before the first payment on 17th July? Once again many thanks. I've seen so many positive helpful discussions on here. -
Money owed is paid first and will be in your bank 3-5 working days after payment was sent. I would say it should be in your bank by middle of next week at the latest.

The automated payment line is the helpline number and you need to choose option 6. However, it has been known to give incorrect information so you should reply on that.
