Hi,

Which ESA is he claiming, is it New style ESA or the old Contributions based ESA? If it's New style ESA then there's no disability premiums payable with this. If it's the old Contributions based ESA then being entitled to the Income Related top ups (disability premiums) will totally depend on your joint circumstances.

Do you work or claim any benefits yourself?

Low rate mobility only PIP will not give rise to any premiums even on legacy benefits.

Indeed but Enhanced disability premium doesn't need a PIP award.
