Income support confusion

mummyplus3

I did a calculation on Entitled to and it estimates the weekly amount of Income Support I should recieve is £165.70 in IS but there is know break down as too what that is.

My application for IS is through and says that I am getting £110.40 a week:

Broken down into:

Lone Parent rate - £67.50
Because I am disabled - £28.55
Disability Income Guarantee - £14.05

I recieve High Rate Care & Low Rate Mobility DLA's and thought I should be entitled to Severe Disabilty and/or enhanced disablity premiums but I do not think they are included into the amount ive got the letter for but I am not sure what those added on bits are or how much the SDP or EDP's are?

Can anybody shed any light for me

Thanks

I'd give the number on the letter a call in the morning and ask your question of someone senior and record the name of any one you speak to. If your phone has a recording device on it, record the conversation if you can. Always get proof. They claim todo it to us, so do it back.
Just my 2 cents.

disability income guarantee is the enhaced disability premium

severe disability premium should be paid if you are getting higher rate care and no other adult lives with you

How old are your children are they all dependends ie do you claim child benefit and tax credits for all of them

2 little ones yes Im just in the process of changing everything from a joint claim to a single claim I will give the job centre a ring later as I don't have an adult living here anymore.

Need to change the tax credits too today
