Hi everyone
I'm just looking for some advise about back payment for ESA , my husband had to give up working 3 1/2 years ago because of spinal problems, and they put him on the benefits for 365 days and then said that he couldn't have any more benefits because of savings ,we have since Filled a few more forms in and been refused benefits for 2 1/2 years , i filled one in back in November 2013 for him received a letter the other day saying that he's been put in the support group without a medical, it didn't say how long he'd been put into the support group for, so he had to ring them up to ask them ,he has been put in a support group for three years at last ,when my husband spoke to and adviser at the benifits office about his benefit being back dated to when the claim form went in he couldn't answer The question my husband was asking him , he said that my husband was better off on the benefit now than what i he was before, ( well we know that ) so I was wondering if anybody had been in the same situation and if you could give me some advice on this matter please , should he have back payment or not ? we would be very grateful for any advice . Hope you're having a good day , All my love Tinkabel xx
