    HI,

    It's not clearly exactly what you're question is. If you're already claiming ESA then you don't need a letter from your GP stating a diagnosis, of any kind to claim the disability premium.

    If you're talking about the Severe disability premium (SDP) of £64.30 per week then this is paid on top of your ESA and not your PIP. You PIP money will stay the same, unless you're awarded a higher rate in the future.

    SDP can take a few weeks at least and if it's awarded the extra money is added to your ESA. Any backdated money owed is paid separately.
    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.

Is she mean i dont get pay anything for 7 days and than they pay me after 7 days if case like this than after thos 7 days will be my esa payment 3 days latter thats 4th of october... I think she did take my bank details or something like this again.. So i wonder if some onw done it claim on the phone like me?

    I have no idea what they meant by 7 days. SDP will be backdated to the date you became eligible. If the SDP claim is because of a disability benefit award then it will be backdated to the date that started, if the other criteria applied at the time.

    The only thing you have to wait for is for DWP to make sure you're eligible and there really isn't any time scales for this.

    SDP can be backdated from the date you qualified and has nothing to do with being diagnosed with something because that's not how SDP works. Payments from DWP take 3-5 working days depending on your bank and when it was sent from DWP.

    That will depend on your circumstances and you'll need to speak to your key worker regarding this.

    Yes you'll need to speak to your key worker and asked when you qualified for the SDP because it will depend on circumstances.

    She will know your circumstances. Or she can call ESA and ask how much money to expect to receive.

    Hi,

    You will need to ring ESA or speak to your key worker, there's clearly some confusion going on here between the DWP and your key worker. As i said, a claim for SDP can take at least 4 weeks, longer in some cases.

    If you applied on 19th September that's only 3 weeks and you can't count weekends. I know you're anxious but claims for SDP can take at least 4 weeks. There's nothing you can do until the money is paid into your bank.

    That's correct, having a lodger means you don't qualify for the SDP.

    You can't claim Universal and ESA together and i most certainly wouldn't advise you to claim UC.

    New style ESA is contributions based ESA, as you're claiming Income related then you don't qualify for the new style one.
