    Who do you live with? I'm assuming it's the Severe disability premium you're asking about.  Does anyone claim carers allowance or carers element of Universal Credit for looking after you? Is it daily living PIP you're claiming?

    The disability premium isn't payable when claiming ESA. It's only payable when claiming either Income Related JSA or Income Support.
    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.

    Hello there @karen28031974 and welcome to the community :) I've just moved your post into our benefits and financial support category, so it's easier for everyone to find.

    I can see Poppy has replied to you, is there anything else you still need help with at all?
