Hello I get enhanced rate on pip can I also get severe disability premium? And if I can get it how do I apply ?

Do you claim any other benefits? If so which ones exactly? 

Do you live with anyone else or alone? 

You say Enhanced PIP but which part is that? There’s 2 parts to PIP daily living and mobility.

Having checked your other threads I see that you’re claiming UC with LCWRA element, is that correct? See thread https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/93270/lcwra-got-awarded-but-need-help#latest
If so then the Severe Disability Premium is not paid when claiming UC. It’s only paid when claiming the old legacy benefits such as Income Related ESA/JSA or Income Support.

Your rent is paid with UC known as housing element and not housing benefit.

Unfortunately because you’re claiming UC then you’re not entitled to the Severe Disability Premium because it doesn’t exist with UC.

And if I wasn’t getting UC would I be eligible for it   and yes sorry I thought it was housing benefit

Well that’s a moot point because you’re not claiming any other benefits.
As I previously advised it’s only paid with certain legacy benefits and it hasn’t been possible to start a new claim for any of those since December 2018.
