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 peiod0

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

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.
