New Style ESA / ADP

mercibeaucoup

I was awarded ADP at the standard rate in Nov and now receive New Style ESA. 

I have been told I will receive £90.50 per week (new style ESA) but my letter doesn’t explicitly say what group I am in (support or work-related activity). I have submitted fit notes but not been asked to complete any questionnaires as of yet only a commitments agreement appointment (telephone) with local JCP. 

Could I be eligible for a disability premium or do disability premiums not apply to New Style ESA? 

Thanks!

Disability premiums don't apply to New Style ESA.

You are in the assessment phase.

In due course you will be sent a ESA50 form to complete, and have a medical assessment. 

Then you will either be found fit for work, or placed into one of the groups.
