Hi, Im waiting for my award decision atm. But I wondered, if my award is increased, are pip payments backdated to when I applied? This was a review, not a new clain. Thanks.

If you reported a change that resulted in the review, any increased award will be backdated to the date you notified them of the change.
If DWP initiated the review, then any increased award will be backdated to the date of the decision.
Hope this helps.0 -

That's correct you won't get much backpay if you get a higher award and obviously if the award is less payment will reduce and if award stopped payment will end
Fingers crossed for a higher award
Let us know how you get on0 -
