Hi @mark141175 and welcome

The DWP target is unrealistic. When did you complete your ESA 3 ?

At one time the DWP were only backdating to 2014 but this was challenged and revised. You might need to request a new ESA 3 to be assessed for the earlier peiod

Please can you help me with some information ivwas paid a back payment last may 2018  and I signed a form saying I understand there can't pay any further back than 12 October 2014 but I know it been back to court and it been changed to 2011 I'm owed more backpayment but I'm worried I DWP won't get in touch as iv read on internet a lot won't get the money owed

As usual the internet is full of bad information. Every one that meets the criteria will receive what is due.

mark141175,
I think you have to wait - but you should get all money due to you. You've already been in touch with the DWP so I don't think there is any more you can do. 

You can see a progress report from last month here, which gives you the latest official information on this issue.
