    Hi @matthewwilliams1173,

    Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you on board.

    I've had a look on the Citizens Advice website and it says that a successful claim will be backdated to the date of the original decision.

    I also found a discussion thread about a successful tribunal where our benefits advisors say at this stage that it shouldn't take more than a week or so for the arrears to be paid. I imagine this is the same timeframe at a mandatory reconsideration, but you can always call the PIP claims hotline on 0800 121 4433 to check on the progress of your claim if you have any concerns.

    I hope this answers your question. If not or you have any other questions, then please do get in touch!

    Has a decision been made or have you seen the assessment report to know that it's likely to be increased to this? If it's a review it's from date of decision, change of circumstances its when you reported the changes. 
    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.
