Hello, I wonder if you can answer a question for me. I have just been awarded PIP and I just wanted to know if it is back dated to the date I first made the claim?

Normally paid from the date you requested the form.

I believe your award letter will explain it, however some people on here have said they get advised of the award/paid before they get the full letter.
