    It’s extra money paid as part of some old benefits such as income based ESA.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    It depends which benefits you're claiming. The disability premiums are only payable on the old legacy benefits such as Income Related ESA/JSA or Income Support.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
