Hi I’m reading online it says if you get ESA support amount £117 a week you may qualify for the enhanced disability premium? What is this? And is that right thanks again you guys are great x

The SDP and EDP/ are disability benefits paid with the old legacy benefits such as Income Related ESA/JSA and/or Income Support. They are not paid when claiming New style ESA.

I note from another thread that you're claiming UC as well, this means your ESA is New style, so you won't be entitled to any of the disability prmiums. Your other thread is here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/97108/does-carers-allowance-come-off-my-universal-credit#latest

See this link also where it says Income Related benefits. https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums/eligibility
