Hello, I have been on contribution based esa since around 2012 I receive £110.75 every week. Am I owed any money I have not got a clue I had a form to fill in but I forgot all about it Then I had a phone call off the dwp, so I gave them all my details over the phone. I haven't heard anything back from them yet. Also friend are telling me that I can claim for a disability premium of £16.40 per week. Is this right. Anyone have any answers for me. Thank you so much

Hi, welcome to Scope!
I think your best option will be to contact your local citizens advice bureau for advice and see. They may be able to help you contact the DWP if it turns out you should be on a different rate of benefit.

Hopefully you hear from the DWP soon or you can try your local CAB as @Ununpentium suggested. Please try our benefits calculator to find out what support and welfare benefits you can claim.
