Advice on Award Date / Payment was created by patman
I have had a telephone assessment and followed the guidance on here to the letter. I have now received a copy of the assessors report, which looks favorable for me. My question is I applied in february for PIP and the recommendation has gone off to the case manager now reading the assessors report they have recommended a 12 month review, could I please ask does this mean my award will be from february or from the date the case manager makes a decision. I am just wondering if I will get the 3 months from february to now may / june for when the decision will be made or will the case manager make the award from when they make the decision and give 12 months from then. Because if not that would have been a total of 3 to 4 months from when I sent the form in to a decision being made by a case manager. Is it 12 months from when I apply or 12 months from when they make a decision. Thank you

If this was a new claim for PIP then the Decision and payment will apply from the date that it was made.

If it was a transfer from DLA then it is from four weeks after the date of the PIP Decision.

As to the award length, you need to wait for the Decision, the DWP DM may choose to make a longer award.
