    Hi,

    Was your mum transferred from DLA? If so then this will be the reason why it's not backdated. Those transferring from DLA will not be backdated any PIP because they were claiming DLA. PIP starts once DLA ends.
    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.
