I also won mine after fighting for 2 years To get to appeal, I recieved the back pay but due to the 365 day rule I do not get any benefit so was a waste of time i am no better off even tho I am still sick.

Well done! Itshould be backdated to week 13 after you applied not when you failed the medical. I have just won and had mine back date to April 15. although my payments stopped in Jan 16 because of the 365 day rule.

What is the 365 day rule?

If you are in the work related group of esa so not the support group they will only pay you contribution based esa for 365 days after that it is means tested so if your other half works full time as mine does to keep a roof over our heads you no longer receive any payments even though you won the appeal! I have even tried CAB and they say there is nothing I can do.
