Esa3 form and occupational pension due to industrial injury.

Hello,
I posed a question about ESA back pay a couple of weeks ago.
I would just like to throw this out again as I have a little more info.
I have recently been sent an ESA3 form by the DWP.
I didn't ask for it, they just sent it
On the covering letter they have only stipulated that I need not fill it in if I have savings of £16,000. 😂🤣. I wish. ( don't we all )
I moved over from IB back in August 2012 to contribution based ESA.
I do have an occupational pension from an Industrial Injury at work.
I spoke to the DWP yesterday as I thought id just be wasting someone else's time helping me fill the ESA3 form in. He said it was really complicated and not at all straight forward.
I thought that having a pension would scupper any chance of getting Income based ESA.
I was wondering if there is anyone else out there that is in a similar position to me ?..
Or anyone who knows whether having an " industrial injury based pension " makes a difference to whether the claim for back pay might be successful ?
I hope everyone is as well as can be. I know how challenging things can be. I send wholehearted warmth and good health happy wishes to all.

I did read somewhere online that industrial injury pensions were treated differently when it came to this particular pack pay. Maybe I read it wrong being the eternal optermist that I am.
Do you know of anyone that has sent the Esa3 form back only to be informed that they won't receive back pay ?
Namaste
I would be nice to know the remit they are using though.
Thanks again, have a beautiful day x
Good luck xx
I hope you are able to challenge that !!!
The thing is... Where do you get the energy from to do it.
I really am very grateful that you have taken the time to write to me regarding this.
Hope you ok well and warm.
Kind wishes, pete
