Tribunal award and tax credits for a previous year

It’s late but I’m hoping someone here has been through this and can direct me.
Son lost PIP at transfer from DLA in March 2018. The tribunal was held in Feb 2020 and he was awarded it back. Contacted tax credits who have backdated from 5th April last year until June when he left college.
A referral was done to a department within tax credits in Feb but no reply ever came back so tax credit helpline told me we obviously weren’t getting it, they can’t back pay for a closed year (2018-2019)
Has anyone been through this or had a back payment from a previous year?

The year they are saying I can’t get the back date for is the 18/19 year where the disabled element would have been paid had he not have lost his PIP originally. So from March 2018 until April 19...over a year.
