Hi everyone. I'm new to all this so if i make mistakes pls excuse me.
I've been on standard daily living for a while but put in for the mobility component (as i have a soft tissue disorder)originally asking for the change if circumstances form April 11th 18. I had an at home accessment on the 24th july. It went to the decision makers on the 13th if August. A couple of weeks ago I received my accessment report which gave me 16points for mobility (more than I need). Do you know how long the decision makers normally take to make a decision and will it get back dated from when I originally asked for the c.o.c form pls?
Thanks

Decision takes on takes between four to six weeks but sometimes longer, you should get your back pay for several weeks if not months all will be made clear in your award letter explaining length of award money owed and start of regular payments.
