Hi Adrian , thanks for reply. Like I said previously I was on Incapacity benefit and the rate was say £115.10 per week that  didn't affect my IIDB. Seems like ESA CB is in itself a lower amount than Incap'  and as you say made up. I still thought that regardless you were still entitled to one of the Premiums if on CB ESA but obviously not , regards

Being entitled to any of the premiums depends on individual circumstances and because your IIDB is more than the premiums then it totally wipes them out, which means you're not entitled to them.

Hi, I’m disabled and was getting disability benefit,(£365 monthly) ESA (From 2017) work related group(£78 weekly), and occupational pension.(125 monthly)
I am single and I don’t claim any carers allowance or council allowance or housing benefits.in January when I went to see the citizen advice bureau they told me that I should be getting more benefits and more money.
Now I have applied for 
1) Severe disability premium (February)
still waiting for them to get back to me 
2) Contacted ESA and requested for me to review my group and put me on support group 
3) Contacted DWP and told them changes in my health condition so they told me that I should apply for PIP and I have applied and waiting for their response.
will I be eligible for severe disability enhanced payment as well? Should I have to apply? Or will it be automatically be paid?
from when they will start to pay enhanced payment. ( if it’s backdated).
please let me know. 

Many thanks

Hi I hope your well, but I had to come on to say I can’t believe how rude you have been to Poppy after all the time she has spent helping you. 

It’s not her fault you don’t like the answer but no need to be rude.

In a previous thread of yours here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/comment/685284#Comment_685284 you said you had contacted ESA to apply for the SDP and you were waiting for a decision, is this correct?

For the Enhanced disability Premium this isn't automatically paid if in the WRAG, you will only be entitled to this if you're claiming either high rate care DLA or Enhanced daily living PIP.

Thanks for your support. Although this is an old thread from 2019 and that member hasn't been active since June 2019.
