On DLA but told to make independent claim for PIP

On DLA but told to make independent claim for PIP was created by Lynn
I was on DLA but my health got worse. I phoned DLA & was told to apply for DLA. I was getting mobility only on DLA but applied for Pip and was awarded both. The new living component I was given which I did not get on DLA was awarded to me. Will this new award be given from the start of my pip claim.

Congratulations on the award.

I'm afraid, all awards where there is a transfer from DLA to PIP. whether they are initiated by the DWP or the claimants are only payable from four weeks after the Decision is made, there is no backdating of the award.
