Will I get my money back?

This morning I received a letter to say they have looked at my claim again before it goes to appeal and have decided that I should really be in the support group as from the 18th October.
Obviously I'm ecstatic, but I have lost a lot of money because of them, I have had to beg my Doctors to issue me a repeat sick note with out seeing me so I could carry on getting my ESA, as I couldn't afford the £15 round trip of a taxi to get me there and back, and at the coldest part of the year I've been huddled in my bed afraid to come out because I could only afford to heat a couple of rooms, my DLA pays my cleaner/helper/godsend, but I had to tell her over Christmas that I might have to let her go as I couldn't afford her any more, and by then I felt ending it all was the only way to get out of this nightmare as I've now become depressed, but now i'm bloody angry, so angry I've been put through all this for nothing!!!
What I would like to know is, do I get my disability premium back dated, they probably owe me about £300, do I have to apply or will I get it automatically, and what about the cold weather payments I have also missed out on, do I get those too?
Grateful for your help anyone.
