Hi,Do you claim New style ESA or the old Contributions based ESA or Income related ESA. There's a big difference between the 3 of them. If you're claiming New style ESA then there's no disability premiums available with this. Your award break down letter will tell you exactly what you're claiming.You can't claim carers allowance for yourself.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.

@poppy123456 thank you it does say that I would get £73.10 and a extra £38.55 so think it must be the new style ESA

Yes indeed that sounds like New style ESA. Unfortunately, there are no disability premiums available when claiming this.
