Two weeks ago I was notified of my PIP award and received a backdated sum of money because the whole process took 18 months.
I have just completed the IS10 form to apply for the Severe Disability Premium. If I am entitled to this, do you know if this benefit would also be backdated by the DWP?
Yes, the SDP should be backdated to when you became eligible for it which will be either when your PIP award applies from or when you made a claim for the benefit (ESA, Income Support, etc.) which the SDP is being added to, whichever is the later.
