    Don't know, but I have heard SDP is only backdated a month from date of receipt of IS10
    I imagine the EDP will be backdated to atleast 92nd day, but not sure about before that.

    Thank you Epitome for your help. It still amazes me that I went from Nil points to S.G, bizarre

    Has anyone ever used a taxi to attend Tribunal? If so how long do you wait to be refunded, on average, thanks...

    In addition is SDP applied in the same manner as EDP regards back pay. Or is it treated as 'fresh claim' after successfully completing IS10?

    Many thanks

    If you have:
    - been entitled to income-related ESA throughout, and
    - you have lived alone throughout, and
    - no-one has claimed carer's allowance for you at any point, then
    you should ask for the SDP to be backdated to the start of your IESA claim (the SDP is not linked to the support group only to DLA MRC or HRC).

    Good luck and congratulations on winning your appeal :)

    Yes... It was. I received a full understanding of the WCA that I was previously unaware and applied it in my circumstance. Which I am grateful for.

    Thank you Benefit Baby.

    Unfortunately no, the first point you made regards IR ESA wasn't the case. I was processed as Cont. ESA from July 2011, albeit I was IR JSA prior to that claim for ESA.

    I even missed out on a much needed (as a result of being Cont. ESA) CCG which I needed a year ago having moved out of a hostel. I wasn't in a position to look into that aspect, mentally, so I just accepted it. A tax rebate saved me a few months after, that saved me, and I set my new home up thankfully.

    Thank you very much for your consideration, I am glad its over, well for the time being anyway.

    Have a pleasant evening, regards

    Do you have an underyling entitlement to Income related ESA I wonder... you live alone don't you... no other income apart from this benefit? You could always be assessed for IR ESA I understand by completion of ESA3 form if necessary. But I think it is perfectly possible to get contrib based ESA, have underlying entitlement to IR and therefore get the benefits of getting IR ESA such as premiums.. free prescriptions, dental care etc... check.

    Hi Muttely

    I was transferred from Cont. ESA in July this year to IR ESA thereafter.

    Ah right... no issue then. I wish my memory was better... think I'm fast reaching the senility of requiring to read back on cases.
