Esa tribunal win, how long for back pay?

Monies1233

Firstly i would like to say to anyone out there who has had there medical assessment and lost, dont give up the fight, go all the way to the tribunal, its not as bad as you think.

I have just won my esa tribunal case and have been given 2 years before they can call me up again. My question is, how long does it take for dwp to pay and how far back does my payment go?
My medical assessment was July 2015 and my money stopped around that time, what I didn't do was claim any other benefits, so have had nothing at all from the day they stopped it, I have no idea how far they go back or how long it will take.

payment would be backdated to the time of the original claim that was disallowed.
If your claiming income based ESA they will take into account any other household income so if your partner works you could possibly get nothing.
If its Contribution based you be ok.

How have you survived with no income?

also, the 1 year 'prognosis' will go from the date of the assessment and not the date of the tribunal.
this date is a guide only and the can reassess you at any time they want

I have managed with the help of family and friends and also some savings I had.
From what the judge at the tribunal said, I will not be called up for 2 years it's not income based or work related so they should reassess my claim.

Just so you know. They can reassess your claim at anytime.

I lost my esa assessment as I didn't get enough points however was granted full esa for 3 months due to assessor not finding out all my information am I still entitled to back payment or is that not going to happen because they never mentioned it on the phone
