Hi
It will only be backdated to date decision was made for a review
Hope this helps any further questions just ask -
Sorry to be bit thick ?♀️Do you mean backdated to the date they received review form on or the day they make the desicion x

I think it is day they made decision but I might be wrong sorry hopefully others will know exactly

Thankyou for replying x

It depends on whether the review was initiated by the DWP, in which case the change takes place from the date of decision, or whether the review was initiated because you reported a change in how your health affects you, in which case it is backdated to when you did so.kaishalewis said:If someone is on standard rate and are awarded higher rate after review is the difference backpayed?
