Hi guys 
you may have noticed that I’ve just posted that my son has been awarded the standard rate pip. I do have a question though ... currently I receive tax credits for him and I know it changes if your child receives pip (he’s 16 but at sixth form) does anyone know if this will get backdated to the pip claim starting that was back in May ? 
I really don’t want to sound cheeky but thought I would ask

    Hi,

    Yes, it's backdated to the start of his PIP award providing you claim within 3 months of the date of the decision to award PIP.
    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.
