in Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Thank you for allowing me to join your forum.

I am one of the many who was sent an IB3 form last year asking for info between April 2012 and May 2016. I was only claiming IB, and wasn't claiming DLA etc. But, I was living alone, no other income, no savings and with an existing claim for HB and CTR.

My question is, do I need to have been claiming other qualifying benefits to qualify for the underpayment, or was being placed incorrectly in the CB ESA instead of IR enough?

Thank you

    Hi and welcome

    There is no need to post your question multiple time, it can lead to confusion. If possible please delete all but one

    I can't seem to find a way to delete the posts. I am new here. I didn't intend to post multiple times, the website through up various 'gateway errors' while I was attempting to post my comment. I didn't realise it had posted.
    Sorry

    Not the best start, but can anyone help with my query about the underpayment?

    No, you don't need to be claiming any other benefits to qualify for the Income related top up on ESA. The Enhanced disability premium is automatically paid when claiming Income related ESA in the Support Group. This payment is £16.40 extra per week from April 2018 (less in previous years)
