For a new claim for PIP, with no DLA in payment, payments should be back dated to the day the claim was made, providing there are no issues with the three month rule for having a limitation.
Where a DLA award is in payment, the DLA will continue for four weeks after the Decision is made and then the claimant is moved to PIP, there is no backdating.
