Hi tebby, i am not sure about your exact situation but if you have provided a fit note from the date you were originally found fit for work then I would expect ESA arrears to be paid to you from that date. It may be worth checking what dates are on the fit notes the DWP have? If dates are not covered, ask your GP for a backdated fit note. Also, usually you would be paid ESA pending the tribunal hearing and I think you are saying you are getting this, but there are exceptions such as if you have previously failed the assessment without successful challenge, or your appeal is about not attending an assessment for example. Hopefully none of these apply to you.
