    Hi @bcfc, the severe disability premium is usually added automatically if you're eligible. If you are at pension age, it may be that you're not entitled unfortunately. There's some information about entitlement here: Disability premiums: Eligibility - GOV.UK

    Are you managing okay with your other benefits? It can sometimes be useful to speak to a benefits adviser to make sure you're getting everything you're eligible for. If that's something you'd like to do, you can find local help using this tool: Turn2Us - AdviceFinder
