If you're put into one of the groups you'll be backdated to the 14th week of the claim. For those who applied for ESA after April 2017 and get put into the WRAG then there will be no back pay.

I wouldn't worry about back payments right now, Wait till you get a decision then think about any monies. Some people give themselves false hope and it all ends badly.... Leading some people to think they deserve an award.

Any back pay will be to the 14th week, after payments began, If you had 7 waiting days, it will therefore be to the 15th week of the claim.
