    Hi Jane,

    EESA is just what they use when paying your money into your back. Sometimes they use that and other times they use ESA. It's just your ESA money. Not sure what you mean by premium rate but i think you mean you get the Severe Disability Premium, am i right?

      Jane you're getting confused. Ignore the EESA because that's something they sometimes use when paying a payment to someones bank. EESA is just ESA it doesn't mean anything about your Severe Disability Premium (SDP) If you lost your daily living PIP then yes you would lose the SDP.

      SDP is £62.45. It would be this amount you'd lose if you lost your daily living award of PIP. You're not in the middle of a review for PIP or anything are you Jane?

      Jane i know it's very easy to worry but if you have a year left until your review then that's quite a while to wait. Try to relax because there's absolutely no point in worrying right now. x
