    Hi,

    It will totally depend on your circumstances at the time. They are contacting everyone that transferred across, whether they are entitled to back money or not. Some haven't been entitled to anything.

    You'll need to wait for DWP to assess you and make a decision. This can take between 12-20 weeks.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
