Hi @mark141175 and welcomeThe DWP target is unrealistic. When did you complete your ESA 3 ?At one time the DWP were only backdating to 2014 but this was challenged and revised. You might need to request a new ESA 3 to be assessed for the earlier peiodBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste

As usual the internet is full of bad information. Every one that meets the criteria will receive what is due.

OK thanks

mark141175,
I think you have to wait - but you should get all money due to you. You've already been in touch with the DWP so I don't think there is any more you can do.
You can see a progress report from last month here, which gives you the latest official information on this issue.
