Missed out?

My partner and I claimed ESA jointly years ago. Now I realise I might be wrong:
Living expenses: for me and my partner.
Extra money: because we are both disabled.
But why am I only on the Support Group, not my partner? Was this missed?

This looks correct to me. It wasn't a joint claim as such. The main claimant will be in the Support Group and not the partner. You would have been receiving extra money for your partner with the living expenses and the disability Income Guarantee. I can also see that couples Severe disability Premium was also included, which would be money for your partner too.
