    Didn’t you start a new claim before the Tribunal decision was made? If so, I’m not sure how it works in your case, someone else may know.
    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.

    Hi,
    You should be able to get to this calculator:
    It`s straightforward; on the left you enter the date you started the claim and the date the backdate payment was to (it`s down as end date in the calculator).  On the right you select the award you have (it`s also straightforward).
    This will give you a very good idea; it won`t be exact, but it will be pretty close.

    You don't want to put the end date of your PIP award because they won't owe you money up until that date. Once they pay what they owe there will be a cut off period which they will pay you up until. You will then receive your payment every 4 weeks going forward.
    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 you put your claim start date in and then the date you received your first payment, that will give you an idea.  I can`t remember, and I don`t have my letter in front of me, but does it give a date range for your backdated money?  From your claim start date to xx/xx/xx - if it does, put those dates in.

    Was that when you started a new claim? If so then this will be the reason why. Though you did say in a previous comment your award was until 2024.

    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 you look at your award letter on page two, there will be a line that says "We will pay £xxxxx into your usual account on <date>.
    The next line says "this is money that we owe you from <date claim start> to <another date>.  These are the two dates you need to enter into the calculater.  <claim start date> goes in the start date box and <another date> does into the end date box.  That will give you an idea of how much you will receive. Your end date box can only be in 2022.

    Oh, right - yes, I`m confusing you as well.  You wouldn`t need the calculator if you had the letter :# Sorry for that (I`ve had a long day). In that case in the start date box put the date you started  your claim.  In the end date box, put the date you found out you were going to get PIP.  This won`t be exact because you don`t know the end date, but it will give you a good idea.

    That’s excellent - and glad they have used some common sense.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
