The backdated pay usually arrives before the decision letter. So you have a new award! You can relax now! Thanks and no problem.

Hi , is it a good sign if they have phoned me to clarify things on my sons DLA MR ?

Hi @hay1977, it could be a good sign as they may have wanted to clarify a couple of points to avoid going through an assessment. It's not a guarantee though and I don't want to mislead you.

Hi @rach58 and a warm welcome to the community from me!
I wouldn't think so, if they have backdated your payment it can take up to 2 weeks😊0 -
my daughter applied for PIP last year and was awarded 8 points so didn’t get an award. We didn’t appeal because we was in the middle of moving home. Her condition remained the same offering the same challenges and some worsening experiences due to her condition. This year in April she applied again and scored 0 points despite having two calls and me keeping a detailed diary for more than a week. I was furious because the assessor clearly didn’t take on board anything said on the calls nor read the diary as some of their statements were hugely contradictory to the information we provided. I got permission to have an MR.
This was around 4 weeks ago. Today she received a text to say they’ve been trying to contact her and will call at 4pm. They asked on the phone and asked her if she was still interested in claiming, and if she would want to use the motability scheme, asked her if she had started any new medications (which she answered yes to) they confirmed her bank details and asked if that’s where she would want any back payment sent to. Lastly she was told a decision would be made tomorrow and that she’ll be informed in 7-10 days. Is this common ? Although, it seems it could be. I’m so hopeful for her but at the same time worried because it seems that people still get a no after those sorts of questions0 -
Hi @cheering, welcome to the community. Did they ask whether she has spent time in hospital or prison? Often these are quite standard questions to check for anything that might affect things should they make an award. But unfortunately it's always difficult to say if it's a positive sign as some people are asked these things and not awarded.
I really hope it's a good outcome for your daughter, though. Fingers crossed you hear back from them soon.
