Disabled premium

Hi I have been trying to get information about disability premium but keep going round in circles
Brief history, support group contributions based ESA support group and PIP enhanced daily living with standard mobility. Living with wife who works and not receiving carers allowance would appreciate some information about this

You might like to have a read through this past discussion about Disability Premium, if you haven't seen it already. Sometimes hearing about others' experiences can be the most helpful thing!

It does sound as though your partner's weekly pay means you are not entitled to any income-related ESA, which is when the additional premiums form part of the calculation.
You could always phone the DWP and ask to make a claim for IR ESA and they will assess it, if you want to find a definitive answer. If they refuse it they should show how it has been calculated so you can understand it better.
