in Benefits and income

Hi so I usually get standard daily living which From April 24 was £290. Received a text today saying I should receive my decision letter in so many weeks. I called them and the automated services told me I would be paid £405 on the 25th I’m guessing this is standard daily living and standard mobility. Would I be entitled to backpay or do you only receive it when you first claim?

    Hi @klw97 It's worth noting sometimes the automated line can give wrong information, so I'd suggest just holding tight for that latter, which should be on its way!

    Unfortunately with reviews, there's usually no back pay offered, it's only for the first claim, or after a MR/Tribunal for reviews. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome for you!🤞

    Thanks for responding. Received my pip letter today and like I thought I got awarded standard living and standard mobility. I was also back dated.

    Hi @klw97. I'm glad you've got the letter and your award. It must be a relief 😊
