in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Hi I’m new, any help much appreciated.
I was sent an is10 form recently and filled it in and sent it back quite promptly as it’s not the largest form I’ve been sent.
I phoned them a few weeks later to make sure they recieved it which they have and the lady said to me it looks like you haven’t been getting the sdp premium on your benefit, I was confused because being in the support group esa income related I always thought the money I get had a premium already added but the lady said no that’s something else apparantley I have not been getting the sdp part every week because I’m also on pip standard living. I didn’t think much of it until she said it was £69 a week I should be getting extra a a week.😯 that means for past 10 years I haven’t been getting that and potentially means I will be backdated all that time, I’m a bit overwhelmed as it would be quite a large chunk of money,but I know the dwp will try to find some way of getting out of paying it. I called them again on Friday and the person I spoke to said he can’t confirm it but potentially yes I could be due a massive backdated payment but as it’s not him and someone else working on my case there is nothing else he could tell me. Any advice would be much appreciated x
