You wouldn't necessarily be due backpay if you failed to claim something. That's your responsibility and it's now tough luck.
The ones getting back payments were subject to a government errors when transferred to esa.
I've read success stories on this forum of it being paid back many years when people realised they were entitled to it - I'm willing to sit on hold for a while to find out!
I did ask when I first applied for it how long it could be backdated to - because I moved to NI, it was the date my claim started here. I fear I may have been told the correct answer for the department I was dealing with - THEY could backdate it to the date I switched over, but maybe the lovely people across the sea could backdate even further.0 -

I thought wrong. Calcotti states above it will be paid regardless if you prove you were entitled.0 -
What documents would you get in a Subject Access Request. Say I have a appointee, would I be able to request all my documents or would the appointee?0
