Esa back pay

in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hello,
My partner was awarded ESA at the assessment rate that goes back to 19th April. He has been receiving the assessment rate but now we have finally had the confirmation (23rd August) that he will start getting the higher support group rate (after having an assessment back in July). He will start getting the higher rate award from his next payment but we are unsure if it will be backdated and if so how far back?
Thank you
Jade

    For ESA the extra money is paid from the 14th week of your claim and will increase to £129.50/week. As you're also claiming UC the amount deducted for the ESA will increase to £561/month.
    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.
