Hi
I did ask this question on someons else's post but got no answer.
Can DLA be backdated if I have asked for a review as Ive needed more help since June, and claimed in October and not heard anything as yet..

Hi L321,

If a claimant's award of DLA was altered on review, for better or worse, the new amount of benefit would be payable from the date of request of review.(On the form)

Obviously if the award was not altered on review, the amount payable would remain the same.

As other moderators have said, we are not and never can be an on demand 24/7 welfare rights service.

Your post was answered within 3 hours. Some other disability related forums take days.

Patience is a virtue :P and quite a few moderators aren't around today as they're wacked out with the volume of posts we've had this week.

Merry Xmas :woohoo:
