If you win your appeal your claim will be backdated, and as you have/had a current claim for CA that will also be backdated
Good luck.

Just to add I recently read that someone was complaining after the person they were caring for was transferred from Dla to pip they had their careers allowance stopped and wasn't reinstated until they rung and asked why, so might be a good idea if successful in pip claim to get career to ring and inform them of change.
