I have not made any enquiries or had any contact with the DWP with regards my ESA so I'm a bit lost as to what this could be in reference to- there doesn't appear to be any…

Advice needed please
I was awarded New Style ESA on 03/04/24. I am paid fortnightly. I received my ESA50 form in December & had my WCA last week. IF I am placed in the support group, will my payments be backdated? And if so from what date please?
-
Has anyone spotted this! Dodging HC ruling
The High Court found changes to WCA were illegal becuase they were simply an attempt to save money and not a genuine attempt to help people..so the government just moved to change over to PIP recently..surely it's the same thing..illegal and just to save not help..surely this must go to court
