Hi,
Has anyone any experience of claiming the severe disability premium of ESA and if so how long it took to process from them receiving the forms back?.
Thank you.

hi
many thanks for the reply Gill. didn't realize it was that early. seeing as I seem to fit criteria I shall go for it as they say.
just had visions of having go for another f2f for it. marvelous isn't it when you have to find out this way.
makes you think what these so called advisors are being paid thousands of pounds a year for. thousands of pounds to NOT do their job. couldn't make it up could you. anyway thank-you very much for that. be good.
freda.

oh i know, they say it's not thier job to tell us what we're entitled to, it's up to us to find out for ourselves, but it's £61.85 a week extra, so i'm not surprised they don't announce it.
Get on the phone asap.

Just noticed your post.
The 'advisors' at the jobcentre are not there to advise you but are simply there to make sure that you abide by the rules. No civil servant and certainly not those who work for the DWP are going to look at your circumstances and tell you what you should be claiming and how to go about it. Heck, they are there to ensure that the least amount of money goes out.
As for the 'jobcentre' - since when was it place or centre that would advise/offer/advertise jobs?

well it's not really a case of them allowing you or not, if you qualify then you qualify, they can't deny you it.
it's more a matter of how long it takes them to re calculate your esa and how far they backdate you.
but ringing them won't make them go any faster as you only ever get to speak to the contact center not the person dealing with your re calculation.

Hi I am on standard for pio and my husband works, he doesn't get carers allowance for me so would I be entitled to this?
I'm also about to start an appeal to be placed in the support group as I'm currently in the wrag

hi, if you are in the wrag then no you wouldn't qualify, the rules they set for the severe disability premium is, pip care componant, (either rate) esa support group only, you must live alone and no one gets carer's allowance for you. so as it stands with you not living alone and being in the wrag then you wouldn't qualify.
