Pip not bsckdated was created by Bewildered

Hello.
I was sent pip renewal for last April 2021.
I returned form and changed my claim to include mobility this time.
I had a telephone interview in May.
I now have recieved my new award, with reduced care and full mobility. I now find out that Pip are not backdating my award. I have waited over 12 months to find out whether I would recieve mobility. I though it would all be backdated. ?
Can they do this?
Thank you

Hi Bewildered

Short answer is yes they can.

If you contacted DWP for a change of circumstances and you are successful then your claim is backdated from the date of the phone call.

As you report you completed a review form then your claim will be from the date of the new decision not from when you received or posted back the form.
