Is this an extra benefit i may get? and if so will it be backdated like my PIP award?

From your post it would sound as if you qualify.

It will be backdated to the later of your PIP award or the award of the benefit that allows payment (e.g. ESA or IS), I'm guessing this would be the PIP.

Hi everyone hope everyone is well :) i have a question about my award i have just read my award letter again and i cant believe i missed the fact they gave me the award till May 1019! which i am really happy about.
It goes on to say that they will check with me about my conditions again but not till after May 2018 does this mean i don't need to worry about dealing with all this again until 2018 at the earliest?

thanks
