Hi All..
I've only just come across this recently and am in the process of checking whether my husband has been affected because he has been on benefits since 2009. Apparently following a check by the National Audit Office they found that since 2011 the DWP has underpaid an estimated 70,000 people who transferred to ESA from other benefits. Average payout is £2,500 I believe and apparently the DWP is contacting those people affected automatically (yeah right) but thought I should post what I've read. You can find out more by googling that heading above.
