@chiarieds can you clarify something regarding Enhanced disability premium? I keep going round in circles every time I read the Gov.UK website on this, sometimes it seems I *may* qualify, and other times it seems clear I do *not* qualify.
I claim CB ESA, awaiting assessment. I am hopeful I will be allocated to the support group. I also receive PIP, enhanced DL, standard Mob.
Given I am not entitled to any income-related benefits, does that mean I am also not entitled to EDP at all? If I am possibly entitled, is my entitlement dependent on being allocated to the support group?
I'm sure I've asked this before but, as I say, I keep becoming confused reading the Gov.UK site.
Thanks. -
Hi @Girl_No1 - Unfortunately disability premiums are only payable with income related ESA, & if yours is contribution based you wouldn't be eligible, sorry as far as I can see.

@chiarieds thanks for clarifying that! I was going a bit bonkers reading and re-reading the information. Probably more in hope than realism when I was reading it that I *may* be entitled!

You're most welcome @Girl_No1
