Hi. I was just after a bit of advice. 
I have recently been awarded PIP mobility at the enhanced rate. Does anyone know if this will affect my income support? I have tried looking online and in some places it says my income support may be reduced and in others it says I could get disability premium. Its all very confusing. Thanks for any help.

eta: did you get an award for the care component as well or just mobility?

Hannah1207

Thank you.
No i just got mobility component, I have asked for a reconsideration though. I have temporal lobe epilepsy, have a lot of absence episodes and sezuires throughout the week. I did wonder if my income support would only be affected if I received the daily living. I just to get so confused reading different things and seem to only be able to take in certain pieces of information. 
Thank you again.
