    Hi... sorry if this is the wrong place to pop this , I am new to this site ...
    I have a son who has autism , he is nearly 6, I applied for mobility March 2016 , it was refused , I then applied again in 2017, was refused again, but I appealed ..was refused and then proceeded to tribunal , 
    On the morning of the tribunal 19th march 2018, I received a call saying I didn't have to attend that the decision had been over turned , I then received a letter from the courts stating my son had been awarded higher rate from March 2016 , amazing ...
    Yesterday I received a call stating they are putting some of the backdated money into the account this week but only back to October 2017, and are writing to the judge to request a reason why it's been backdated to march 2016 ...
    Has anyone any experience with an appeal of the date 

    Thank you

    Hi
    So I received a letter that the judge has changed the date to August 17 ... so I have now been advised to ask the judge for a statement of reasons ..  
    I contacted the tribunal services and we told they are only allowed to comment on point 1 ..which was the appeal is allowed, which apparently means it's gone in my favour ..???
    Welfare rights have said they can not help any further as it is now legal ..hmmm 
    Any advise would be appreciated..

    Thank you

    Oh brill ...thats what I thought the procedure was ... 
    I don't think what they have done is illegal ,but feel it's a great way of getting out of paying a years worth of benefit 
    Going to give it a go and see where it gets me ...
    Thank you
