I am writing to ask if anybody has been told that the Dwp only pay back payments from the date of your assessment now .I waited 15month for my assessment and received a letter today that my new claim started 10.01.2023 ,that was a week ago . Please let me know if this has happened to anyone else ..thank you

You don’t say what benefit you are referring to. Regardless, there have been no changes in the regulations that would affect the date when any arrears are due from.
