the three month rule still applies but they can over turn it for some reasons0 -
yes
in my experience.
this happened to me last week with sons dla.
i claimed from october but as it was more than 4 months they honoured because i rang as soon as i got the letter.
as you cant ring until you know and the lady on phone agreed as i only got informed that day they backdate to when dla is backdated to.
hope it is same for you - good luck.0
