In reference to the 13 month deadline mentioned by SoS:
Supersessions favourable to a client normally only take effect in terms of payment of extra benefit from when the change was reported (it should be reported within one month of it occuring) even if the change happened some time ago. However, if the client has special circumstances which meant that it was not practicable for the change to be notified within the one month time limit, the deadline can be extended to a maximum of 13 months. I presume that is what they are on about - see CPAG chapter on Decisions, revisions and supersessions, no time to look up the regs at the mo.
