No he is in the work related activity group.ESA.
-
He was yes but not anymore because he was found fit for work.The SDP is payable on any Income related ESA so he should have been claiming this in with his ESA.I'm going to advise you to speak to an advice agency near you for them to do a full benefits check on him, this way they can make sure he's claiming everything he should be claiming.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.

Hopefully getting a doctors Medical letter soon which should help us Thanks for your good advice.Glad it's sorted. I'm assuming he's claiming Enhanced daily living PIP? Which means he's entitled to the Enhanced disability premium in with his ESA, otherwise assessment rate is £73.10 per week. Just incase anyone reads this.Don't forget if he's living alone and no one claims carers allowance or carers premium for him then he should also be claiming the Severe disability premium in with his ESA. This will give him an extra £65.85 per week. He should have been claiming this previously, which means it can be backdated if he's always lived alone.To claim the SDP you need to ring ESA and ask to fill out the IS10 form over the phone. Claims can be done as quick as a few days. Link explains what SDP is. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/severe-disability-premium

Catherine..... dibdob123I'm glad they added the SDP.However, i'm afraid that amount is not Support Group rate, it's still assessment rate with both disability premiums added. That total is as follows.£73.10 assessment rate for over 25's£16.80 Enhanced disability premium (because he claims Enhanced daily living PIP)£65.85 SDP. Total amount £155.75 per week.The backdated money he's received will be for the SDP, which is money that's owed.Support Group rate would be £194.30 per week.This means that at the moment the Tribunal is still going ahead and you will need to continue to send in those sick notes until a decision's been made. Hope this helps/I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Yes thanks. Thought we had won.. Thought it was too good to be true.. Still it's a nice little help in the meantime.

Hi. Update on Lee. I have handed over the appointee for Lee To his Step dad. Who is OK with that... He has had an interview with the DWP.. They say now that payments must be payed to the appointee bank account... And transferred over to Lee's account.. Have you heard of this before??? I'm to stressed out to carry on with the appointee... So he will deal with the Tribunal... Thanks.
-
Yes, that's correct this is because the appointee will now deal with the benefits claim and not the claimant their self.
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. -
Thanks. Just as Lee got his benefit s paid straight into his account when I was Appointee for him..
-
That's not something i've heard of before. The whole purpose of being someone appointee is that they are not capable of looking after their own benefits claim, including the money they receive. I'm my daughters appointee and her PIP gets paid to me and then i transfer it to her.

Thanks for that Poppy.. Don't know how that was too.. I took over when his Mum died.. And he had his money in his own account then.... Now we know it's all OK.
