Severe Disability Payments

Afternoon all. I was wondering if any of you know the answer to this. My Husband is in receipt of his State Pension and Pension Credit (Guaranteed), High Rate Care and Mobility DLA. I am also now in receipt of High Rate Care and Mobility DLA. Does this mean we are entitled to any of the Disability Premiums? I have looked on the Gov. site but it is a tad confusing 
. Thought I would ask here before ringing them tomorrow. Many thanks.

there are 2 reasons that would stop you receiving the severe disability premium.
1. another adult living in the home ( without disabilities)
2. someone receiving carers alowance0
