    Hi @conz44 welcome to the community.

    You may get a top-up (called a premium) on the following benefits if you get PIP:
    • Housing Benefit.
    • Jobseeker's Allowance.
    • Income Support.
    • Working Tax Credit.
    • Employment and Support Allowance - but only if you get the PIP daily living component.
    • Pension Credit - but only if you get the PIP daily living component.
    This information is from the Citizens Advice Bureau.

    No, it's backdated till the time you became eligilble, regardless of time.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
