Underpaid ESA

I have a dispute with DWP over my underpaid IR ESA,they are telling me I was placed on ESA cb on 2012 from long term Incapacity Benefit and they stopped my DLA in 2010 which was a shock to me because I have never claimed DLA in my life they are adamant that this is correct,I was put on ESA cb in late 2008 or early 2009 and they say I am wrong,where do I stand in this situation and wrong information from the DWP any advice would be greatly appreciated.!

Despite all my benefit knowledge and it's quite extensive, i've never heard of this announcement before. Do you have a link for that announcement please? i'd be very interested to have a read.

Sorry but i have no idea exactly what it is you're reading but even googling what you asked me to i'm afraid i simply can't find it. All i found was this, which does state that even though ESA was introduced in 2008, it wasn't until 2011 that people started moving across from IB. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/esa-underpayments-progress-on-checking-january-2020/january-2020-esa-underpayments-forecast-numbers-affected-forecast-expenditure-and-progress-on-checking
