I was on income related for a number of years, I reconciled with my husband 2015 but separated again 2016 they then put me on to Contribution based for some reason. So not sure if new ruling applies to me. always in support group and I also receive high rate pip for care and mobility.

Thanks in advance.

Were you on Incapacity Benefit before the ESA?

When you were transferred to ESA what group were you put into and was this for Income Related ESA?

If you were initially placed in the Support Group and on Contribution Based ESA then there should be a back payment of some amount.

Hi Gordon I was on income related support group from outset. They only changed it to cont based in 2016 when I separated again. My only income at this point was 23.00 per week from personal pension. So not sure why I wasn't put back to income related. Although I do get full housing benefit and council tax so it maybe doesn't make any difference which I'm on. Thanks anyway you all do a great job on this site.

I was wondering if there was a common link to the underpayments. I was on incapacity for years before esa but I wasn't put straight into the support group I was in the middle group contribution based for the first year 2011, before being moved to the support group although I'm still contribution based still. So is most people that are getting payback people who were put straight into the support group contribution based?
