The date to add in the SC from is determined by new HB Reg 68B. Broadly speaking this means that the date to include it from will depend upon when you were notified by the Pension Service about the award. However, the date to include the AIF from is more complicated because it depends who you believe. There has been a long running debate on these forums about this and you may want to check out some earlier posts. Essentially, the DWP are telling you to use it in the HB/CTB calc according to the normal COC provisions in reg 68 but many people, including me, are not convinced that this is either correct or the intention of the regulations.
