Hi @Goozi welcome to the community!
Unfortunately no, PIP is only backdated from when you first put in a claim.Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -

PIP is different to ESA yes. People claim PIP and work. PIP is about how your conditions affect you and not a diagnosis. http://www.mybenefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/indexxx.php
