    LRM and LRC both pay £18.65 now so that would be £37.30 a week with the £27.50 on top totalling £64.80 on top of her JSA. Make sure JSA backdate the premium to when her DLA was awarded.

    Oh wow, yes thanks- her DLA is backdated to February 14th. I've advised her to take the letter with her when she signs on.

    Thanks for all you help!

    Today has been a good day. Not only has my son's girlfriend had this good news, but she has also heard she has passed her Maths exam, my son found a fiver on the footpath and I have won £25 on the Premium Bonds.

    Just need to hear that my husband's Incapacity Benefit is going to continue now!

    Thanks once again.

    As long as the 'claim' for the premium is made within a month they will backdate that. At least that is how it worked for the SDP. I assume its the same if not more lenient for the DP.

    Hi moonlight, just to say that my original thread is over two-years old, the young woman in question is working now!

    Ask at the jobcentre if you get the premium.

    Are you saying that if she gets DLA lower rates and Job Seekers that they will discount her job seekers and just give her 27.50 a week????

    AFAIK she will get her DLA, her Jobseekers and £27.50 (or whatever the current rate is) on top.
