Hi everyone,
Good news, my mum has just won her PIP appeal and received enhanced mobility. Her payments for low mobility stopped on February 20th 2020, but the claim was put in August 2019.
Will she get backdated for enhanced just from February 2020 from when the payments stopped? Or will the difference from low to enhanced also be paid from august 19, when the claim was put in? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.
Will she get backdated for enhanced just from February 2020 from when the payments stopped? Or will the difference from low to enhanced also be paid from august 19, when the claim was put in? Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.
Thank you ?

Hi was this a review or did she report a change in circumstances
-
It was a report a change in circumstances
-
I'm not 100% certain so please seek further advice
But I would think the back pay will be full payment from when her mobility was stopped and then this difference in standard to enhanced from when the change was reported
@Adrian_Scope can you help with this one -
I thought so too! Just unsure

Thanks for the tag @janer1967.
Congratulations on your mum's win @eroofd. If this was a supersession then it's my understanding that it should be backdated to August 2019 when she reported the change. So she should receive the difference between the two rates for August 2019 - Feb 2020 and then the enhanced rate from 2020.Community Manager
