Hi Please can you help me.
Would I be entitled to income related top up of cb based esa due to disability premium. I receive mid rate care and high rate mobility dla indefinate. My husband is retired on a state pension and a small private pension.
I am not sure that I am reading your guide right but it seems to me I may be. If so how would I claim it .

You may be eligible for the Enhanced Disability Premium for being in the Support Group but I think it unlikely if your husband is receiving the State Pension and a private pension as these will be treated as income as will your current ESA(CB) payments and will likely exceed any increased payments for ESA that an ESA(IR) top-up would produce meaning that they would not be payable.

You should be able to check by using one of the online benefit calculators, Turn2Us.org has a good reputation for accuracy.

Hi etg,

Just to add,

If after checking, and maybe seeking professional advice from CAB or the like :

Where to get advice

You feel that you may still be entitled to some IR ESA Premium top-ups, you would have to request, fill in and return an ESA 3 Financial Assessment Form from the office that deals with your ESA.
