Hi. If you have been awarded PIP when do DWP take the claim from as regards to payment?

    If you're transferring from DLA, PIP will start 4 weeks after your DLA ends and there's no backdated money, even if your award is higher than the DLA was.

    If you weren't previously claiming DLA then it's the date you rang to start your claim off.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
