I phoned up the same as you did on Monday and told my decision, the lady then told me I would be awarded it from march and told me the amount it was fairly large,, then I had a call to my mobile from the dwp it was the same lady she told me the decision marker had got the sum of money wrong and said that she was awarding me more she looked into my case after are phone call I might not of ever got that extra money if she didn't look into it,,, sorry I can't be of more help but thats what happened, in my case so they do pay backdated money as they did with me,, maybe ring them again and ask for a explanation it can't hurt,, I find some call handlers really good and some useless it's really luck of the draw,, I find the Irish office super helpful I don't know if anyone else agrees with thatSusie55 said:Hia i just phoned pip they gave me the decision over phone have waited 7weeks got enhanced living and standard mobility for 3years mine is starting from 26December no back payment for me why is that i wonder.If anyone knows i will pleased to know.Thanks -

A change from dla
-
No I was never on dla,, , I was on pip and they reviewed it
-
Perhaps that is why im not having backdated money as i am changing from DLA to PIP and not a review do you think
