If you are found entitled to ESA over that period, then surely your are also entitled to the ESA rate for that period too. I say this because when I went from JSA to ESA my benefit was reduced by £37.25 per week, this reduction included the 13 weeks in question so why don't they pay me back my entitlement?
Because the legislation is not written to allow it.
