You get back pay to when you visit your local CO not when you move. The amount you get varies from area to area eg you get more in cities where rent is higher. You won't automatically get it you have to have been living in rental accomadation for 6 months or be on the housing list. If your rent is above the maximum level you won't any RA at all so you need to find out whatthe maximum is in your area before applying
