Phoned today and told decision was made 27th August gone from Mrc to Hrc and stayed on Lrm. Said first payment is due 16th September however my normal payment originally was due 8th September for the mrc lrm.
My questions

  1. Will I still get paid the 8th September mrc / lrm and then again 16th September
  2. Do dla back pay from scan date on renewal or not
i did ask on the phone but the line went dead and it was a 1.5 hour queue wait when I first phoned. Currently waiting for letter. Thanks in advance

No backdating for renewals as the new rate kicks in on expiry date of previous.

Im not entirely sure tbh regarding your payment date, do you have letter for previous award to see the end date.
I don’t think you’d get two payments though so 16th may be your new date

In most cases, when rates increase at renewal, it isn’t backdated. However, it sometimes is. It really depends on the circumstances and, to an extent, whose desk it lands on.

Sometimes you receive a part payment before your old normal payment date.
