Could it be applied to a late PIP2 perhaps?

I assume you mean in connection to PIP not being backdated when DLA was in payment, I'm afraid not. I think there are three issues.

1. This is not setting a new precedent but is rather affirming an existing law.

2. The PIP Transitional Regulations specifically prevent the backdating of a successful PIP Claim in these circumstances.

3. If it did apply then it would apply to all circumstances which would include claimants who received a reduced award or no award at all and would then be liable to a recoverable overpayment of their DLA.

Eg. DLA stops on date PIP2 should have been returned and PIP awarded some time later when the PIP2 is received,F2F as taken place and a decision to award of PIP made.

I don't see how this would work. The PIP Decision should apply from when the form is received and is treated as a new claim with no DLA in payment.
