    Hi,

    ESA WRAG Contributions based is paid only for 365 days, so you would have been claiming Income Related ESA not Contributions based. ESA Support Group Income Related is £127.15 per week, single person. If this is what you're getting then i highly doubt they will owe you any 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.
