Hi,The ruling is for those that transferred from Incapacity benefit to ESA and were automatically awarded Contribution based ESA. Those that were entitled to Income related were never assessed for this. It's these people that will be owed back dated money. Your award for Support Group states that you were indeed claiming Income Related, with slight deductions for something, which it doesn't state.Unless you claim DLA mid/high rate care or PIP daily living and live alone, with no one claiming carers Allowance for looking after you then you won't be awed any back dated money.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
