According to the dwp I am on contribution based ESA since March 2013, however when the system changed from Incapacity benefit to ESA. I was not assessed according to my circumstances in March 2013, so today they have sent me an ESA 3 form to fill out.
I called them to confirm the letter was genuine not fraudulent and they confirmed the reference number on the letter and date it was sent out.
He told me you may be eligible for a tax free lump some backdated payments since March 2013?
I remember the lady that helped me fill in the form, however i don't remember her assessing me for Income based ESA, isn't that if your already in employment or paid enough national insurance contributions at the time of application your eligible?
