Yeah as above... you must have satisfied the tribunal that at least one Support Group descriptor applied (or special circumstances) such that you were determined to have limited capacity for work related activity. The points based descriptors are for WRAG (i.e. when determining limited capacity for work... 15 or more total gives rise to WRAG qualification unless Support group criteria is met).

Regarding the backdating.. you've been getting assessment rate while appealing... you should get Support component backdated to the date of the DWP decision that you were 'fit for work'.

Call the DWP and check they have received the decision notice. If they have not, send a copy yourself. Backpayments can take up to thirteen weeks to process.
