Hi all.We all know it can take a while to hear from DWP with info etc so,after submitting an SSC1,when do your ESA payments begin from?(I know they are assessment rate etc),i just wondered if they go from the date you submitted,your SSC1 or the date the Tribunal received it or some other point of time?

Hi @lolaboots
My Daughters dad won his appeal but didn't get any payments until the descision from the appeal was posted to him. They back dated the payments from the start of his claim from when he should have got esa. So depending on your circumstances they can choose when to pay you from.
Hope that helps
If you feel youve waited a couple weeks and want an update give them a call.

If you haven't been claiming JSA while you've waited and you want to be back dated the ESA since it stopped then the fit/sick notes need to be back dated to the date of the original decision.If you've claimed Universal Credit since you've been found fit for work then you can't go back onto ESA.

Thanks everyone,how lovely of you all to let me know i needed a sick note.Because the DWP didn't mention it once when i spoke to them every day last week and on Monday!But as you said @poppy123456,my tribunal stuff came back Monday and then,late that afternoon,i had a text from DWP about a sick note but at least i was ahead of the game thanks to you guys!It's done anyway,scanned and sent in this morning so let's hope it now isn't too long until payments begin.
