Hi,It will depend when you first started to claim ESA. If it was after April 2017 then you won't be paid any back dated money because those that claimed after this date won't be paid any extra on WRAG.If it was before April 2017 then yes you'll be back dated the difference between assessment rate and WRAG, which is about £30ish extra per week.

Thank you poppy 123456
Do you know how long it takes for them to pay you -
It can takes anything up to 8 weeks.

If you're claim started after April of this year then there's no extra money for being placed in the WRAG.sambob said:as ive asked dwp & they told me it was done after April this year
