My esa benefits got suspended because I didn’t tell them about a university course I started, I’ve given them all my student finance information and everything. I was wondering if I’ll get my esa benefits back & backdated?

If you're entitled to any ESA then it will be backdated to the date it stopped. You will need to ring ESA to ask for an update because they are the only ones that can tell you.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Coming back to this, are you a full time or part time student? If full time are you currently claiming either PIP or DLA?
