Hi, hoping someone can help me?
From 2017 I was getting PIP standard rate daily living and mobility. After receiving this award I was surprised at the time to also be award disability premium and also severe disability premium onto my legacy benefit which is income support.
Today I received my review award and I have now been awarded enhanced for both daily living and mobility.
My question is will my disability premiums change at all? I cant seem to find info anywhere but have read there is also an enhanced disability premium but surely you cant get 3 premiums at once?
Any advice would be welcome. Thank you x

You will retain the existing premiums and also be entitled to the enhanced disability premium.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

@calcotti thanks for that. I never imagined I would be entitled to 3 premiums at once. Will this just be automatically added onto my income support? Thanks again for your time x

I’m not sure if it will be automatic, it may be worth ringing IS.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

I will wait a few weeks to see if there has been any change and if not I will call. Many thanks x
