Back pay?

I have been on DLA for a number of years. I had to go for an assessment in June and have now also been awarded both parts of PIP. However I will not receive the other payment till DecAm I entitled to back-pay from when I first claimed? Thank-you

Have you got your decision letter ?
Normally DLA is paid either 1 week in advance and 3 weeks in arrears or 4 weeks in arrears. this should continue for either 3 or 4 weeks
.
Pip should come into payment 4 weeks in arrears following your decision

I hope that makes sense

You should transfer from the DLA over to PIP in the end.
"PIP" is the governments new (DLA Benefit)
We will all transfer over to PIP eventually.
At some point DLA will be fazed out as far as I know.
I can't wait for mine to pop through the door !!!!
I have already run through the benefit checker in preperation.
Many thanks.
