SDP confusion

Plus, do you have any savings?

Hi the answers to all 3 questions is No.

then you should apply for the income related top up of severe disability premium and enhanced disability premium.

I'm surprised that the EDP hasnnt already been applied, as it is only the SDP that isn't given automatically ( if the criteria has been met)

how much do you receive?

When I phoned about it before i was told no because I was on ESA CB but then someone told me I could claim it, so that's where the confusion has come from.
ESA £218 every 2 weeks then the DLA HRM and MRC.

nannytone_2

if the $318 ESA is your only income apart from the DLA, then you aren't receiving the enhanced disability premium either.

you should be receiving £373 a fortnight, which is made up of ESA, severe disability premium and enhanced disability premium

just to be clear .... this is only if you have no other household income, live alone and no one claims carers allowance for helping you
