SDP rate - is the Support Group's Enhanced rate deducted from any back payments

Hi again everybody, My friend got all his money backdated ect, apart from now he is awaiting the SDP , we contacted the DWP straight away and they said they will arrange everything.
I have tried to do the math for my friend and give him an idea of what to expect but im not sure if the Support groups Enhanced Premium will be deducted from his backpayment, as the year he was going through appeal he was receiving this.. So i can only offer him 2 possible outcomes,
One with a years Support Group Enhanced Premium deducted from the total owed
and one with the Whole backpayment being for the SDP backdated from the beginning of his claim , back in march 2018.
Any advice is welcomed, Thank you all very much.
