HI,This is regarding the Incapacity benefit to ESA underpayment. Yes, lots of people have received many thousands of pounds in backdated money because they were underpaid. Information here. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/esa-underpayments-progress-on-checking-june-2021/june-2021-esa-underpayments-numbers-affected-expenditure-and-final-update-on-checking
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.
