Thanks in advance

Disability Premium doesn’t exist for ESA.

IS, JSA stil have it but it has never been payable for ESA claimants ast the WRAG and Support Group are payable instead.

If you get income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) you cannot get the disability premium, but you may still qualify for the severe and enhanced premiums.

Hi there,I’m new to this and wasn’t quite sure how to post a new thread so thought it best to comment under someone else’s question on the same subject.

I’m looking for help as I’m on ESA and PIP, I phoned up after learning about SDP and was told over the phone I could apply(a few simple questions) I was then told I would hear back from them to which I received a text message which said;
Payment will be paid to your account for arrears of SDP after quality checks are completed, thanks.!
What I would like to know is ,has anyone else received a text like this and if so how did it go?, and what do “quality checks” mean?.
Just interested to know if know there is a limit of arrears?,as I started pip a year ago. Thanks

The arrears should be fully backdated to the same date as your PIP.

No idea what the quality checks mean - probably just checking other DWP records to see that there isn't anybody living at your address etc.
