Hi I'm new to this needing pip help

Lee1991

hi I was getting low rate DLa then it ended and on the 9/2/18 I was turned down for pip then on the 21/11/18 I won my tribunal appeal and I was awarded enhanced pip from the 9/2/18 can someone tell me do I get it backdated. I was getting suppment payment from 9/2/18 but ended on the 24/11/18. Also can someone tell me do I get disability premiums on my job seekers and do they get backdated

1) Yes your PIP award will be backdated to 9/2/18.

2) " I was getting suppment payment from 9/2/18 but ended on the 24/11/18." - I don't understand this,, can you clarify please.

3) What exactly is your PIP award? Have you been awarded the Daily Living component?
If your JSA is income based you should get a disability premium, and it should be backdated. Here is some info:

I believe the OP is from N. Ireland and this supplementary payment is what people receive when transferring from DLA to PIP, is they're refused the PIP.

Yeah I'm living in Northern Ireland I'm just not sure if my pip will be backdated until 9/2/18 since I was getting supplementary payments upto 24/11/18 I have been told the difference between supplementary and pip will be back dated. But I'm not sure as I haven't got my award letter yet and it's almost 3 weeks. thanks
