    Hi,

    I see you're claiming the mobility part of PIP, do you claim the daily living part? if so does any claim carers allowance for looking after you?
    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.

    As you're in the Support Group for ESA then you'll automatically receive the Enhanced disability premium (ESA total £127.15 per week) you won't be entitled to the severe disability premium because you need to be claiming daily living PIP to be entitled to this.

    Your other benefits will remain the same.
