When moving from DLA to pip I was turned down. I was also refused pip after mandatory review. I appealed and was waiting to go to tribunal. Yesterday I was phoned to ask if I would accept enhanced rate care and lower rate mobility. This is the same as I was getting from DLA. I am so relieved. When I was refused pip I had my housing and council tax benefit cut. I wonder if anyone knows if this will also be backdated. I would be grateful for any help, Debbie

When I won my DLA appeal in December I had my housing benefit and council tax support backdated to date of award.

Sorry missed you other question :blush:

It should be backdated to the date of the Decision that you appealed.

Please don't post in capitals it causes problems for members who use screen readers.

Being in receipt of a PIP Daily Living award can increase the applicable amount used to calculate Housing Benefit, also, depending on your Local Authority it can enable a discount of Council Tax.
