Enhanced disablement premium?

Muireann

Hello, I’m on income related esa and get the severe disablement premium along with my pip. I was told a couple years ago that I could no longer get the enhanced premium because my (adult) children lived with me. Now my daughter has moved out leaving my disabled son and I, would I be entitled to the enhanced premium please? If so can I have the phone number to let them know she’s moved out?

The 0800 169 0310 keeps cutting out on me. I pay for carers and PA to help us.

It is the Enhanced Disability Premium that you currently receive, and the Severe Disability Premium that you are enquiring about.

If your son meets the criteria on age or qualifying benefit then you would be eligible to receive the SDP again.

You have the correct phone number for ESA to claim SDP already although I appreciate you aren't able to get through at the moment.

ah right perfect thank you, I’ll just keep trying. I truly appreciate the help.

will my daughter moving out mean I will be forced onto UC please?

Not unless you need to make a new claim for help with rent.

Migration letters are going out up until September anyway which is not that far away now.
