ESA Disability Premiums - confusing

tractor

I am confused by the three types of "disability premiums" for adults:

• disability premium,
• enhanced disability premium,
• severe disability premium

What criteria does DWP us to determine if a claimant comes under the disability premium, or enhanced disability premium, or severe disability premium?

There's no explanation at https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums

My son doesn't get any of the above disability premiums with his ESA. Instead he gets something called "Disability Income Guarantee"

Any insight would be helpful.

Thank You

I believe the Disability Income Guarantee is in fact the Enhanced Premium.

Yes Disability Income Guarantee is the Enhanced Disability Premium.

Scope has an information page:
