is Severe Disability Premium time limited? claming approx 12 years backdate

epitome

Bill sorry I have not been around in a while, I don't have much time anymore...

But.,...

Please phone Income Support... ask
"Has the IS10 been recieved?"

"Is it showing as recieved by "Wolverhampton Post Handling" ?"

"Is it showing in the scanned mail received?"

(when post is received at Wolverhampton they scan it onto the computer - and the phone contact people you phone should be able to check that it has been scanned as received.............what then happens is it takes Income Support about 2 or 3 or 4 weeks to action the scanned document/letter...... You can cut this short.....when they tell you "YES IT IS SHOWING AS RECEIVED AT WOLVERHAMPTON AND HAS BEEN SCANNED AS RECEIVED" You can then ask...has it been actioned? Is there a note on the file that says it has been sent to s decision maker or that it has been done? What is the date of that note?

If it has been scanned and there is no note.... then ask for a callback to confirm receipt (into the benefit processing office) and when it will be actioned....

If no callback phone and ask for an escalation.


**Have you asked ESA for a verbal explanation on the period of backdating of SDP ?

I've have been on the wrong Esa contribution based for years £114 a week when I should have been on income related with edp and sdp I've recently been transferred to income related currently getting £191 a week but they told me my backdated money will take longer does anyone know if I will get edp and sdp premiums backdated and how long this usually takes they received my Esa 3 form on the 6th of March 2018 I've met the criteria for the premiums since the esa ib migration

If the DWP contacted you, about their error of not assessing you for IR when you migrated, then you should expect to get ESA backdated to October 2014.

If you migrated earlier than that then you will probably have to appeal to tribunal and Upper Tribunal. There is alledgedly already an appeal going through on this subject you would have to do your own research, but looking through my post history you should find someone I was talking to about it.

EDIT I see you already found it.

I have spoken today to a very nice guy at Oldham. He explained that assessment of all the claims that go further than October 2014 has been suspended and that they have done nothing on these claims for past 4 weeks. Why? Because they are waiting for a letter from a government which formally confirms that they can…
No calculations, no draft decisions, nothing is doing with those claims until they have this letter.
They have very upset customers calling everyday but I was told the decision-makers cannot start work on those pre-October cases until some department (apparently OED, not sure what it means) confirms in writing they can go ahead.

Mind boggles, people are at risk, but a piece of parchment rules the world.

Anyone has a client with a good MP? Please get them on this. My MP is otherwise engaged plotting a coup.

My mum just won her mandatory reconsideration to be awarded SDP back to May 2014. They said she is due approx £14,000, which will be paid within the next 2 weeks.

Personally went to Tribunal 5 years back for unpaid SDP after migrating from IB to ESA. Lack of SDP picked up by Citizens Advice when looking at my budgeting. Won Tribunal and backpay for SDP for two years.
