Disability premium

Hello, I have received income based ESA for 5 plus years, standard care PIP and no mobility for 2 years for multiple mental health and physical disabilities.
I was told by courts at tribuanl to come back with my physical evidence after 2 years and now i have it, i have recently been back to another face to face assesment for PIP only to be knocked back when my conditions have worsened and currently waiting for a second tribunal.
My question is, should I have been receiving the premium over the last 2 years? As I have no carer or partner. I was only informed last week by a DWP representative of this premium. Why would they leave it that long to tell me that? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.
Sorry I posted in other thread, didn't realise how this worked.

I didn't know it was connected to DLA, I thought that was ESA.
As you are appealing the decision, I wonder if that's a bizarre hold up?
I just think it's bizarre how they've only notified me of the premium when there's a break in both claims.
Oh dear @Girlhappy! the word that has been starred out above was NOT an obscenity I assure you!! but perhaps the word 'error' would be more agreeable to the computer system!

I got it but it took them two years to realise they hadn't!
