How many weeks??

i was wondering if someone could help me try to figure out how much i should be reciving back from esa. I put in my claim on the 29th july 2009 and have not received any money as yet i won my tribunal 2 weeks ago and have been told it should be backdated to the very beginning of my claim, i have gotten myself confused by how many weeks that is and how they work it out. Oh i have been put into the work related grp if that helps
thank you in advance Laura x

Hi Laura

I don't think it would be appropriate to do a calculation for you in case there is any other information required that may affect the payment.

Generally though, successful appellants placed in the WRAG will receive the WRA component (£25.95 a week since April 2010) backdated to 13 weeks after your initial claim. This assumes that you were receiving ESA at the assessment rate throughout your appeal.

In your case that would be 46 weeks on 15/09/10.

Hope this is helpful, and congratulations on winning your appeal.
