In that case £166.60

Twisted_Cherry

Perhaps the OP owes money from an overpayment so it could be slightly less or a previous loan is being paid back?

£59.80 Basic ESA Under 25
£34.80 Support Component

= £94.60

+ £15.15 Enhanced Disability Premium
+ £59.50 Severe Disability Premium

Total

= £169.25

@rsdntbplr Does it have a breakdown of what is paid on one of the pages?

I recently migrated from IB / IS to ESA (Support) I get £181.15 P/W.

OK based on this:

Premiums are extra amounts that you can add to your personal allowance if you qualify for them. Different premiums each have specific qualifying conditions, for example if you have a severe disability or if you're a carer.

Severe disability premium


The severe disability premium is £59.50 (or £119.00 for a couple if both partners qualify).

If you’re single, you can receive this premium if all the following conditions apply:

• You receive the middle- or high-rate personal care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA).
• You live alone (for example, you don’t have a partner living with you).
• No one is paid Carer’s Allowance for looking after you. This means that it's possible for you to have a carer, but if they claim and get paid Carer’s Allowance, you will not be able to add the severe disability premium.

Couples can receive this premium at the couples rate if both partners get the middle- or high-care rate component of DLA or Attendance Allowance (AA) and nobody is paid Carer’s Allowance for looking after you.

If you’re in a couple, you can receive this premium at the single rate if either of the following conditions applies:

• You both receive AA or the middle- or high-rate care component of DLA, but one of you has a carer who receives Carer’s Allowance for looking after you.
• One of you is on the middle- or high-rate care component of DLA or AA, and the other is registered blind, and no one gets Carer’s Allowance for looking after you.

In all these cases, you will lose the premium if a non-dependant member of your family (such as a grown-up son or daughter) is living with you. If someone pays you rent (a tenant or lodger) for living in your home, it doesn’t affect this premium, but any rent you receive affects your benefit (see the section on charitable and other income, below).

Enhanced disability premium


Enhanced disability premium of £15.15 for a single person or £23.45 for a couple can be added to the other premiums if you (or your partner) are under the qualifying age for Pension Credit and either of the following conditions applies:

• You get DLA at the highest rate for care needs.
• You're in the support group for ESA.

A couple rate will be paid even if only one of you qualifies. If you're in a couple and you're eligible for this premium because one of you is in the support group for ESA, the person who is in the support group of income-related ESA must make the claim.

Once you (or your partner) reach the qualifying age for Pension Credit, you will be paid the pension premium instead. Find out your qualifying age for Pension Credit on the Directgov website.


So,

£71.70 ESA main phase (for all ages after the assessment phase)
£34.80 Support Group component

No Severe Disability Premium because he doesn't live alone (is this correct if he lives with parents he's not eligible?)

But eligible for Enhanced Disability Premium of £15.15 because he is in the support group.

So, my total is £71.70 + £34.80 + £15.15 =£121.65

Still not the right amount!

What do you think?

Looks spot on :T maybe the OP has made a mistake on the figure!

Has this got anything to do with migrating from IB and Transitional Protection?

Fresh claim. I'm on income-based ESA if that helps. In Support Group and also in receipt of DSA, middle rate care and lower rare mobility.

This isn't a migration from IB according to the OP.

I hope they return and tell us how this figure is arrived at.
