mobility/mental health change of law nov 16

Has anyone had a letter about the PIP mobility/mental health change of law, I've not seen much mention of it. Has anyone actually been awarded any backdated money? Does anyone know the order they are doing the review in?

So you've heard back already, thats interesting thanks, its just frustrating when you think you're entitled to mobility, and not getting any, and have no idea what their decision will be, or when it will be. Its not worth me reapplying to try and get mobility now, as I'm due a planned review any day, (care award ends Jan 2020 with a planned review from Jan 2019)
But I've heard from other posters that planned review forms are currently being delayed due to work load.
When you say its harder to score points for following and planning journeys, in what way is it harder?
Thanks
The delays and backlog are affecting the assessors getting round to inviting you in for a face to face and the DWP in getting a decision out.
The department has prioritised checking the claims of individuals whom we know from our systems to be terminally ill. Other cases will be reviewed in chronological order, starting with the earliest cases first ensuring that those who have been waiting the longest benefit at an early stage.
