My wife has been on incapacity benefit due to health/mental health issues since 2007. She was transferred from higher rate incapacity to esa. We were sent forms for possible back paymemt for 2012 to 2015. Part of this time we were not together. A) Are we due a back payment? what is the timescale for any repayment?

Hello @Bunny2001 Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and sharing. I do not know the answer to your question. Some will from our team or a member of our community.
Understand benefits are complex and confusing. Please can I suggest consider speaking to CAB. They have a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
We are a supportive community. Friendly, care and share.
Please ask if we can advise on anything. Some one will know.
Please take care
