Incorrect date of claim on PIP submissions and appeal decision notices

Has anyone noticed that the “date of claim” and “effective date” on the PIP submissions (Page “A”) are sometimes incorrect?

I have had 2 appeal hearings where I have had to request corrections as the tribunal have used the date of claim from the submission and not the actual date of claim which can go back a couple of years!  These decisions were posted so the error could not be raised at the hearing sadly so it just delays payment for the client even further.

I have also had the PIP submission using a completely different change of circumstances date which I also had to get corrected after the hearing as once again the date of claim was incorrect.

These are cases that I represented at so I wonder how many claimants are missing out on arrears!
