in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
thanks to this site, i put in a claim for this today over the phone, spoke to a really nice lady over the phone who did the form for me, i didn't even know this existed but for scope. she said it will roughly be 28 days for a decision, fingers crossed

    Yes It will be shown as exactly that. If in the Support Group the Enhanced disability Premium is known as Disability Income Guarantee in the letters. 

    The breakdown of your ESA should look something like this, if you're a single person and in the Support Group. 
    ESA £90.50
    Support Group component £47.70
    Disability Income Guarantee £20.85
    SDP £81.50 
    Total weekly amount before deductions £240.55/week. (£481.10/fortnight)

    Please note that if you're claiming carers allowance the figures would be different. These rates are the new ones and apply from 8th April 2024.

    thats what i get poppy, on my esa it doesn't say sdp, thats what threw me, mine says extra money because you are severely disabled, so i'll take it they will throw out the claim or should i ring them and say i made a mistake. i have never had carers allowance
