Hi,It will depend when you first started to claim ESA. If it was after April 2017 then you won't be paid any back dated money because those that claimed after this date won't be paid any extra on WRAG.If it was before April 2017 then yes you'll be back dated the difference between assessment rate and WRAG, which is about £30ish extra per week.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.
