Backdated ESA

Hi Guys had a payment paid into the bank today for ESA. Worked it out that its 5 weeks backdated ESA. I have obviously been awarded the support group amount does the first 13 weeks not get counted.
Thanks for the help guides also on this page regarding filling in forms and answering questions
Thanks

Many congratulations on being placed in the Support Group, well done.

Unless this was a Special Rules claim then the first 13 weeks of the claim come under the Assessment Period and any award will be made from the beginning of week 14.
