    Hi,

    It will totally depend on your circumstances at the time. They are contacting everyone that transferred across, whether they are entitled to back money or not. Some haven't been entitled to anything.

    You'll need to wait for DWP to assess you and make a decision. This can take between 12-20 weeks.
