    Hey @Buggsy70 and welcome to the community.
    I'm afraid backpay is only given if it's either a fresh claim or you'd put in a change of circumstances. If it's just a review, you'll only get the new payments from the next payment date.

    Having a mandatory reconsideration (MR) wouldn't change that fact. Did the person on the phone definitely say they would do a MR? As this wouldn't change if you got back pay or not, so I'm a bit confused as to why they'd suggest that. Maybe someone else has some ideas?

    essay man said he would do a manadority as he said they only paid from when disision was made and I said that's not fare his renewal date come up over year ago he was on low rate but theve put him on high on both which should been from the start as his symptoms have been same from day one and they no this I just think unfair just giveing him it from when they made a disision
