Hi,Great news. Backdated money can take 8 weeks. With it being so close to Christmas it's unlikely you'll receive any backdated money before.
-
Thankyou
how far back do they pay? i first applied 15 months ago
-
From the date you first applied. If you already had an award, you'll be paid the difference between that and the new award.
-
Thankyou
-
If it helps when I won my DLA tribunal I think I got the money within a month. But with the time of the year, been what it is, I wouldnt expect it before 2019.
-
Thankyou
i just dont know what to expect! i applied 15 months ago, when do they back pay from? conflicting answers, some people say they dont backdate anymore many thanx

I hope thats the case
i called cab who said they doubt it as they didnt think they backpaid anymore! Thankyou:) ive never claimed before this claim
-
I have no idea why you were told that by CAB because it's not true. Before the Tribunal, did you have a PIP award at all?
-
no
i applied 15 months ago and got zero points then won at tribunal, does that make a difference? many thanx -

many thanks for your help

Basically the tribunal changed the decision made by the DWP.
Because they changed it, it means the decision applies for the entire claim period. So yes it will be backdated.

Hi mic67,
It is right to say that a PIP claim cannot be backdated as there are no backdating rules.
PIP will have to pay your claim from the date you applied, so poppy123456 is correct, but this isn't "backdating" in the true meaning of backdating within benefits law. It's just that they are paying your claim from your claim date, albeit 15 months ago. I don't know whether that is where you have misunderstood the CAB, or whether they were actually wrong in what they meant.

Its possible i misunderstood! Thankyou so much for your help
-
i read today that even though i won at tribunal dwp can appeal this and i may not get pip?
-
Yes that's correct. They have as much chance to appeal the decision as we do. To do this they must first request the statement of reasons, once they receive this they must find an error in law. I really wouldn't worry. As advised payments can take 8 weeks so it'll be in the New year now that you'll receive your payment.
-
As always ...grateful for your help
-
Hello again, its almost 4 weeks since my pip tribunal i won and ive heard absolutely nothing
is this a bad sign? any help would be great
-
No, it doesn't mean anything. It's perfectly normal to wait 8 weeks for any backdated money owed. With Christmas and new year just gone the delays would be longer.
