DLA Tribunal and Child Tax Credit

I have recently won a child DLA TRIBUNAL for my 4 year old ( decision changed from middle care rate to high care rate ) dating back to Aug 18
DWP said I will get the new increased rate, and arrears from Aug 18 to Present
As CTC have been paid at middle care rate and not High care rate since Aug 18- would tax credits also back pay since Aug 18 or just the usual 1 month backdated? ( I have advised them and they just said a decision will be sent out in 28 days )

    It will be backdated to the date of the original decision.
