MR overturned SDP decision... Question regarding backpay

Hi all,

So after a long process of claiming SDP, being denied and then the decision being overturned in my favour by MR, the MR Notice said that I am eligible and will be paid SDP from the beginning of my claim and that it had been passed to the relevant department to deal with.

I have since had my normal ESA payment which had the SDP added, but have had no further communication regarding the backdated payment.

Do I have to ring them? Or will they contact in due course?

Many thanks for your help!

    It should be processed automatically - sometimes the payments come before the letters. Usually arrears and first payment occur at about the same time. If you have had no letter and the payment is not in your abs account there is no ha4m in ringing DAwP to ask what is happening.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
