Hello, Currently in receipt of DLA since 2000. Due to worsening health last October, with advice I elected to apply for PIP. Should this be successful at a higher rate would this be back dated to when I registered my claim for PIP? I ask as the call handler stated so when I made the claim, however there seems to be information to the contrary. Thank you.

No, it will not be backdated even if you receive a higher award. If successfully awarded your PIP will start about 7 weeks after the decision is made.
