enhanced disbility premium on pension credit?

does anyone know if there is such thing as an enhanced disability premium on pension credit? i know if your on income support and you receive high rate care DLA you get the EDP.

a friend of mine recieves pension savings credit and has recently been awarded HRC DLA, but when i phoned pension credit to enquire the lady on the phone started telling me all about the severe disability premium , and seemed to have never of heard of the enhanced disability premium?

    there is no enhanced disability premium, it was on MIG but when Pension Credit came in, it went. the lady is correct as he is on HR Care, he may be entitled to a premium on his PC claim which is worth upto £53.65 per week, how much he gets will depend on his existing claim, he should be sent a form called PC10 to complete and see if he is entitled to the premium.
