Severe Disability Premium - living with others

I think it unlikely that you will qualify as you are not living alone, but it is still worth your completing and returning the form just in case the DWP take a different view.

You should answer question 9 that you live with your parents.

I would expect an IS10 to be used in connection with the Severe Disability Premium.

I am afraid you can only get an ESA3 from the DWP, you might be able to get one from your local JC+ office but it is unlikely that they will talk to you about it without you making an appointment first.

An ESA3 captures the information required to allow payment of Income Related ESA, either in part or in whole, I am surprised that you have not already had one if your are not already receiving ESA(IR), as payment of SDP (ignoring your eligibility) is dependant on you receiving ESA(IR), so there would seem to be no point them sending you an IS10 and not an ESA3 as well.

The Enhanced Disability Premium, also referred to as Disability Income Guarantee is paid to claimants in the ESA Support Group who are entitled to ESA(IR).
