I first applied for pip in march 2020 after going through all the process I was still unsuccessful. 
I was told to reapply so I’ve reapplied and had help with paperwork and had phone call today telling me I’ve been awarded enhanced for both. I did the new claim in August 2021. When will they backdate the payment from?

    Hi,
    It will be paid from the date of your 2nd claim which is August 2021. This is because your first claim was unsuccessful.
