I’m wondering if anyone could help me as I’m confused - I will try to explain my situation as clear and concise as I can. I have received DLA lower rate care for 8 years. My physical health deteriorated significantly so I sought the advice of the CAB who told me to claim PIP - they completed the form on my behalf. I received a letter in August stating I had been awarded 12 points for each element which is wonderful - first PIP payment will be 3rd October. I am confused because I have continued to receive DLA? Many websites say that PIP is paid from the date you initially made the claim but it doesn’t clearly explain ( or I’m stupid ) what happens in my situation. Should I receive back pay or because I’ve continued to get DLA they won’t back pay from 21st March - the date I started PIP claim. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
