Hi,IIDB affects Income Related ESA and will reduce it £1 for £1, so yes any backdated money will likely be used to pay back what is owed for ESA because there will be an overpayment. If any part of your ESA is Contirbutions based then this will not be affected. See link.
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. -
On telephone to esa the advisor said same pound for pound and any back pay would likely to be paid directly to me havento wait and see

Either way, you will have an overpayment for ESA. If the IIDB is not taken to pay it back then they will reduce your future ESA payments further.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.
