Or just starts when and if they confirm the higher award?
If you told the DWP of a deteriorated condition then any increased award should be payable from the date that you informed them unless there are reasons why it cannot be paid from that date, for example; PIP requires a claimant to have suffered from a limitation for at least three months before an award can be made.
