The Act confines payment of an independence allowance to the date of assessment (or later date under s54(2)) and allows retrospective payment only under the specific conditions of s54(6); absent a timely application or satisfaction of s54(6) the Court will not order backdating. The appellant failed to prove entitlement to backdating and the respondent acted within the Act.
