Dividend shares

Can't find anything to verify what I'm assuming. This is that any shares received instead of a dividend payment are treated as a purchase. Therefore any received/"purchased" before 1998 would be a part of the FA 1985 pool and indexed accordingly from the date they were received and not on the date of purchase of the shares which generated the payment. I have looked on the hmrc web site, but can't find anything relevant. Does anyone know exactly how to treat them.

Re:Dividend shares
The shares were acquired for consideration, the dividend foregone. So acquisition date is, as you say, the date dividend shares received. This type of issue is also referred to as a scrip issue.0
