Can anyone help me on DLA

Hello all, very new to this. Son has been diagnosed autistic - i sent back disabled living allowance form about 2 months ago- and we had a text to say he’d been approved and will get a letter accordingly.

the suddenly before the letter we have been paid £1,000 from DLA - would this be a backdated lump sum? It does say online it doesn’t backdate- so I’m confused!

no further letters have arrived !

thanks in advance

It’s backdated to the day they received the form, so depending on what rate you’ve been awarded that could be right.

They don’t backdate to before the form is received, that’s what they mean when they say no backdating.

Oh and lastly… I got a payment before a letter.
