Pip tribunal and award length

Hi. I claimed pip in May 2013. Decision made in October 2013 with a 2 year award. August 2014 got a renewal form, filled in, and January 2015 got a letter saying I was no longer entitled. Mandatory reconsideration said the same. Put in appeal which is this Tuesday 29th. If I get reawarded pip, does that mean it would only be awarded till the May as the original award was 2 years, begining in May 2013? Would I then have to claim again and is it even possible to claim to be backdated to May? Thanks

An Mandatory Reconsideration or tribunal would remake the Jan 2015 decision and, if you are awarded PIP,payment will be backdated to then.
