    Where you still getting equal to your DLA payments every month until you received your letter saying you had been award PIP?
    It is paid by Castle Court.  Sorry, but I cannot remember the name it is called?   One of my friends was still getting paid the amount she normally received in DLA until her PIP was cleared to be paid.    They do back date but if you did receive payments from Castle Court that is deducted from any money that PIP own you.  People think they will get £££ but my friend got £40+ owed to her.
