    Hi Weirdworld It sounds like it could be lost in the post. I would get hold of the Royal mail

    All mail regardless of your claim goes to a central sorting office where it is scanned on to the computer system network which can take several weeks before the call center can varify they are in receipt of your information. Then you have to wait another eight to ten week or longer for them to make their dession on your claim assuming they don’t ask, require more information from you. Just be patient.

    Is it the severe disability premium for ESA that you've applied for?

    I not sure my key worker done it properly.. Or can be for pip.. Can i be entitled to both?

    Yes, you might be entitled to both.  You can get the Severe Disability Premium if you get PIP, live alone and someone isn't already claiming Carer's Allowance for being your carer.

    Sounds like you should be entitled to both then.  Probably worth checking with your key worker what they have applied for so far - just so you know what's going on and what to expect.

    It won't be in your next ESA payment if you only returned the form 10 days ago, it can take at least 3-4 weeks, if not more to process the claim.

    It can be claimed over the phone now yes and claims done this way are always much quicker.
