Newbie on here, so please bear with me.
Last August I was denied ESA despite having a long term illness & appealed.
This week I won the appeal & was awarded ESA with the WRA component.
How long should it take the DWP to sort out the money i am owed or how long should I wait before calling them to ask for it?
Cheers in advance

It should take 4 to 6 weeks to receive the backdated benefit.0 -
It will depend if they have time to adjust the payment, it would probably be best to ring them and ask and this may speed things up for you.
Will call tomorrow. Off to let the leaders debate lull me to sleep now...
Once again, Thanks healy.:beer: Heaven dosent want me & Hell is scared I'll take over!0 -
well done on winning your appeal.
I had to fight with them as well over ESA - not enough staff trained to deal with this new legislation.
They wanted me to write down a weekly diary on how my cancer affected me.0
