With the DLA to PIP transition, if they decide you should get the lower rate, the higher rate, or nothing at all at first decision, your benefit is reduced, increased or stopped from the date of the first decision.

It can be raised, started or even stopped after an MR, back to the original decision date.

Ditto after a tribunal.

Tribunals are taking around 6 to 9 months to get to a case, so, for example, if they decide you should have Enhanced Mobility Payments it often means you have been without a Motability vehicle for all that time. Or have had no income for the same period.
