Hello my PIP review was due 1/11/21 and i had my video assessment on the 25/7/22... received a copy of my report... but what i would like to know is... if my claim is increased do i get the increase backdated to 1/11/20? my original review was extended to sep 22 due to covid but they started the review in nov 21.
had conflicting results when i've been searching for an answer. Many thanks

    If it's a review started by DWP then no, they don't usually backdate any money if the new award is higher. If you reported a change then yes, backdated to the date you rang to report the changes (providing you had the worsening of condition for at least 3 months)
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    hey, the video assessment was actually ok. the lady doing the assessment seemed fair. it was at 9am though so at least i didn't have to wait all day to get it over with! 
    I've just received a copy of her report and in it she seemed quite fair in what she wrote except she kept mentioning that i wasn't on medications for anxiety when iam... i looked back at my original review form and have realised that i had failed to include that in mu medication list!!! so she hasn't seen this as proof! i phoned PIP today to ask then to add this mistake for the decision maker to acknowledge before they make their mind up. i had included my medication list from my GP though as my evidence but clearly she didn't look at this when doing my report! 
    i believe that i should have been given more points due to this and how this affects me. i just hope the DM looks more thoroughly through my notes and prescription list

    If you have to go down the mandatory reconsideration do you still get paid in the meantime or does that stop until the appeal has been concluded? Thanks

    The existing award continues while MR is being considered. If the MR results in a change the award will change.
