Hi @Cheryl19700,
Was the enhanced rate PIP awarded following an appeal or following the PIP face-to-face assessment?
It's as Poppy says. If PIP is worth more than DLA there is no backdating, I'm afraid. Entitlement to PIP simply starts the day DLA ends, which is usually four weeks after the DLA pay day which follows the PIP decision.
I know this can seem unfair. It sounds like you might have been able to get more DLA if you'd looked into it, but your son couldn't have claimed PIP any early than 16 anyway.
