Pip back payment

Ghjl

Hi can anyone help me please I applied for pip at the start of October 2016 and I went for my face to face assessment on the 9th december 2016. I then got a letter on the 16th December 2016 saying I have been awarded the standard rate daily living of £55.10 a week and I got the enhanced rate mobility of £57.45 a week then this it what it says on the letter (we will pay £112 into my account on 22 December 2016 this is the money they owe me from 9th December to 15th December (which I did recieve) we will then pay your benefit into your account every 4 week in arrears on a Friday) does this mean I will get paid 4 weeks money on the 13th January 2016 and will I get backdated money from October from when i first made my claim it is confusing me I've read online that I will get backdated and some others say I won't. If I do get backdated when will it be please and also before I applied I have never had or applied for pip or dla

My reply is still the same.
If you were on DLA before PIP then there's no back dated money to be paid. If you weren't then you should be back dated it to when you first applied. Although it looks like you've already been paid some money from 9th-15 December. Yes your next payment would be 13th January. *OK edited post because you added a little to then end which i didn't see. As you've never been on DLA before then yes you should be back dated to when you first applied. You should ring them as only they can answer when you'll get this money. I have no idea why the didn't pay you it all*

Did you ever answer the previous user.... All you said was thank you....

Did you previously claim DLA and was invited to claim PIP? If so the other user has outlined the information you need.

If you aren't happy with this, Then call DWP when they open again.

The reasons no one else answered you was because i actually gave you the correct answer. I've been through the PIP process myself...

Ghjl

Okay sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone I did answer her right at the bottom of my query it says I have never applied or had dla or pip. This is the first time I have ever had any sort of benefit like this that's why its confusing me and im asking so many questions sorry again if I offended anyone

Ghjl

I really do appreciate the help and information you have both given me I'll will find out when they they reopen and ring them

Mine was backdated to the application date, so, if you weren't in receipt of DLA prior to applying for PiP, then it should be backdated to the 1st of October.
