    HI,

    Severe disability premium as it's called will be backdated to the start of your PIP award providing the other criteria applied at the time.
    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.
