in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA
Hi I am new to this ...this is my question I would be grateful for some advise.
I was receiving ESA and have been diagnosed with PTSD with anxiety and depression so decided to apply for PIP. I was unsuccessful so done mandatory part and refused again so decided to go to appeal. 1 week later I got a call from PIP to say they had decided to award me enhanced rate so I was so relieved I wouldnt need to go to court. Will I receive arrears from July 2019 when I first applied? Thank you

    Hello @mollydolly. Congratulations on your award, glad to hear they changed their minds. 
    Yes, you'll be owed some backdated PIP. Have you received a letter yet confirming it all for you?
