ESA enhanced premium

Hi,
Icould someone please advise is it correct that if you are in the support group for ESA then you automatically become eligible for the enhanced premium even if you don't receive DLA or PiP?

If this is correct is it added automatically or do you have to prompt DWP?

Thanks

Karen

I'm afraid there are other criteria related to ESA premiums. These include being in receipt of income-related ESA and also the care component of PIP/DLA. This is explained in the following FAQ
