Back a claim

Is it correct to back claim?
I don't see how that criticism is relevant other than trying to back his claim for al refund.

Your question is not very clear. What criticism? The verb "to back-claim", meaning to claim restropectively, is acceptable, though I would hyphenate it.

"back a claim" (per your subject line) does not mean the same thing. It might mean to support a claim.
