Hi
My Daughter was transferred from incapacity benefit to contribution based esa in 2011. 6 months ago dwp contacted her and said she should have been on income based with disability and backdated the money but said can only do till 2014.
Somebody has just said it should be backdated to 2011 ? Will they contact her or do dwp get in touch again? Thankyou.

Yes, they should contact you again if you were transferred to ESA before 2014.

Thankyou. Should she contact them or wait for them to contact her? Shes worried that because they already backdated the underpayment to 2014, they wont look imto her case further and notice its not been backdated to 2011.

No, the DWP will contact her, we have already had several members report receiving a second payment covering the period before 2014.
