    I am getting severe disability premium but I have been waiting for a call back about my backdated payment, I do not get any callbacks, my severe disability is awarded from January but I was told I would get a decision about how much backdated I would get by the end of February, then I was told they would pay me while I wait for the back payment they started paying me but if I call to talk about the back payment they never call back, I have not got a voice, the people on the phone say there is nothing on the system, but I was originally told that I would get a back payment from 2013 do you know roughly how long that would normally take and should they be calling me back, I have made a few calls but no one ever calls back,

    It may take them a while to assess your circumstances during the whole of that time purely because of the length of time it is. All you can do is ring them again and ask.
    If you still don't have any answers you can also get your local MP involved. https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
