Decisions take several weeks. Keep calling to check on things. Eventually you will hear from them! Keep us updated as to what happens next.

Welcome to the community @borobaby, I hope you aren't waiting much longer!

Ideally you at least want confirmation you in processing, then at that point you just have to wait.
The reason for my post (which was months ago now back in feb) was my evidence (statements) were not even in processing and my case was stuck in a pending state, after the MP got involved it all suddenly moved at light speed and I had my money 2 weeks after that.
Its sad to hear tho that some people are still waiting for this as the DWP had targeted to finish this off by summer. -
I got mine a week after sending form back hope you all don't have to wait a long time to get yours

Hi holly I'm on contribution based ESA and recently got one of those big forms to fill in for the money they owe to people mine was from 2011-2013 although I'm still on same ESA contribution support they only backpayed me those dates got 3,000 pounds back and they paid it a week after receiving my form
-
I'm rather confused as I'm not getting and sdp ATM just the back pay for 2011-2013?
-
I got 2,500 bk dated I rang them the nxt day was in my account...took 12 weeks from filling in form..good luck every one...this page was very helpful x

But are you now recieving the premium on your ESA?
-
scraggs said:I'm rather confused as I'm not getting and sdp ATM just the back pay for 2011-2013?There's 2 disability premiums available on ESA. Enhanced disability premium is automatically received if you're in the support group claiming income related. If you're in the WRAG it's only paid if claiming either high rate care DLA or Enhanced daily living PIP.SDP isn't automatically paid because of the criteria. To be eligible for this you must either be claiming DLA mid/high rate care or PIP daily living. No one must be claiming carers allowance for looking after you and you must live alone or be classed as living alone.If they only assessed you between those 2 dates then that's the dates that apply to you. There could be many reasons why you weren't assessed later than 2013.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

since this thread is active, and we talking about DP back payments.
I rang the DWP today to see if I was awarded PIP and they said yes.
The guy then put me in the ESA call queue so I could arrange SDP, the questions were asked and form submitted internally.
However I forgot to mention about it been backdated, I was just happy that PIP was dealt with so not thinking straight.
Will they figure this out themselves and backdate SDP or is it possible I will have to prompt them to do this after they start the payments? -
@worried33 great news on the PIP! regarding the SDP. Did you transfer from DLA? I can't remember. If you did then the SDP will start from when your PIP award starts. If you didn't then i would definitely ring ESA to check it's being backdated to the start of your PIP award.

Its a new claim and not a transfer, and thanks.
I wont ring them again today will do it tomorrow. -
I hope you were able to get through to them yesterday @worried33.
