Do I qualify for anything?

edited April 2019 in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
I've been recently contacted by the dwp stating that I could be owed arrears from 2011-2012, a 14 month gap.
I've filled the form out explaining my circumstances at that time and sent it back.
What I wanted to ask was does anyone know if I would qualify for anything and if so how much considering at that time I was getting incapacity benefit and lower rate dla.
Thank you

    Welcome to the community @toastedsocks
    I think it would be very hard for us to answer this without more information. When the DWP got in touch, did they give any ideas? It might be worth calling them to ask.
