Hi can people let me know how long after their assessment did you get notified and paid backpay please 
I have my Telephone assessment tomorrow morning, I have an existing pip award I have asked them to re look at my claim as my disability has gotten worse.

    If the reassessment has been done as a result of the claimant notifying a change then any increase to the award should be backdated to when the change was reported.

    Yes it's as a result in me requesting it but was due to have my award looked at anyway, claim form sent out on 12th Feb and was told it would be backdated.
