won appeal for pip. other benefits be backdated? was created by djslangland
When moving from DLA to pip I was turned down. I was also refused pip after mandatory review. I appealed and was waiting to go to tribunal. Yesterday I was phoned to ask if I would accept enhanced rate care and lower rate mobility. This is the same as I was getting from DLA. I am so relieved. When I was refused pip I had my housing and council tax benefit cut. I wonder if anyone knows if this will also be backdated. I would be grateful for any help, Debbie

When I won my DLA appeal in December I had my housing benefit and council tax support backdated to date of award.

Sorry missed you other question
It should be backdated to the date of the Decision that you appealed.

Please don't post in capitals it causes problems for members who use screen readers.
Being in receipt of a PIP Daily Living award can increase the applicable amount used to calculate Housing Benefit, also, depending on your Local Authority it can enable a discount of Council Tax.
