Backdated pip payments

I'm waiting on my assessment for my pip. If I am successful will it be backdated to when I applied, which was in February. ?
Many thanks.

    assuming you were not on DLA, and applied for PIP, if that was true, the DLA continues at the same rate till the decision, with no backdating.
