I have posted previously about my Pip queries and have had some fantastic advice, so I hope no one minds me asking another question. My dhs pip for mh issues is currently being reviewed (I am now his full time carer and deal with all his benefits). It was originally granted in August 2019 for 2 and a half years. It then got extended for another year without any paper review during lockdown. I was therefore under the impression that it wouldn't be reviewed till November 2022. However, we received the dreaded brown envelope in January and had to submit everything by January 27th, which we duly did. I telephoned in March to see how things were going and was told it could be 14 weeks from receipt of the form before they even looked at it or that it could even go right up to November as I'd previously thought, as there is such a backlog (we are in Chorley/Preston area). I know it's just a waiting game and that we are extremely fortunate that we continue to receive payments whilst awaiting a decision. I appreciate I am racing ahead of myself, but if it was awarded again, what date would it be awarded from? Would it be from 27th January or would it be from the date they actually make the decision e.g. If they only get around to looking at it in July, would it be awarded from then or from 27th January when we had to return the forms by? Many thanks for any advice.
