The change in Hb would take effect from the 1st day of the benefit week following the date on which the LA receives notification of the award from The Pension Service.
In this case, if you have not received an ETD I would put on from the Monday following 29/10/03, accepting that the ETD should have been produced the same day.
REG 68B(5) refers where an award is made and this results in a decrease in Hb.
