Hi,

Looking at those dates i'm assuming you're talking about the Incapacity benefit to ESA under payments yes? If so then being entitled to any back dated money will depend on circumstances such as household income, savings/capital, private pensions etc. All you can do is wait for the letter to arrive and see what it says.

says we looks at your claim again from following recent change 
from 8th april to 2019
 the rates some beniefit may change


showing the dates from 13th dec 2013 that was paid 107 a week

then april 2014 to march 15th 2019


then says it from 12th april I be on 128.45 a week


but doesn't say anything bout back payment
 
rung them they said to me I will be paid this week but they don't know how much 

so am I gonna get backpayment or just big NO

Most likely you will yes but only DWP can answer that question. You'll need to ring them and ask.
