Did you mean 2010 on the last line? I would say the date you were awarded because it's not your fault that it took 3 months to get a letter. You have proof anyway so if you have told tax credits 19th November 2010 then I would say that's ok.

Then yes I would say you are right to say 11th November. Jack's 5 this year so we hope he will get an indefinite DLA this time round - hate filling the forms in! x
