My current ESA claim was reconsidered after I appealed WRAG and I am now in the Support Group. The previous claim appeal has only recently been heard at Tribunal and I have been successful with that too. I have waited over 18 months for this decision and now wonder whether I will get backdated payments. If so, from which date they will be calculated? Will it be from the original WRAG decision or from the date I appealed?

Thankyou.
You should receive back payments from the date of the Decision you appealed up to the date of the Decision that was Reconsidered, you should also receive back payments from the date of the Decision that was Reconsidered to the date that you started receiving the Support Group rate, if this has not already happened.
I hope that makes sense
