Hi,
Long story short I was awarded SDP on the 3rd May this year. I got a back payment this month from when I filled in the forms over the phone so period between 03/04/2021-03/05/2021 when I was actually entitled too it from the 19/10/2020 so I made a mandatory reconsideration of the back payment. Today I received the following text.
"You told us about a query in regards to your SDP entitlement and your ESA payment has changed to about £197.00 from 19/10/2020. If you get any other benefits you must also report this change to them."
Does this mean that I have been awarded it?
Thank you!

It may be best to wait a week or so and see if you get the backpay
Best time to call is when they just open -
