    Which group did the Tribunal place you into?

    As you were given limited capability for work, if your claim started after April 2017, which it seems like it did, then i'm afraid there's no back dated money. You will be placed into that group but your money will stay the same.

    Only those that are given limited capability for work related activity are paid the extra money.

    Yes, it is but you said you were given limited capability for work (LCW)  and that's different.

    The difference is backdated to the 14th week of your claim but it can take 8 weeks to receive it after a Tribunal win.
