If I get disability premiums will my ESA go up? was created by Pip
My support worker told me that she knows someone who gets quite a bit more than me for ESA.
Why are they on £50 per week more than I am?

It's impossible to say without more information!
There are Premiums that can be paid which would increase what you receive, you would need to meet the criteria for a Premium to be eligible for it and be entitled to Income Related ESA to receive payment.
Try putting your information into one of the online benefit calculators.

I've got EDP and my ESA went up, but I was wondering if (and how much) would it go up if I got SDP ASWELL

I think the information you need might be here - there have not been significant increases since 2015

Thank you but those rates I know already.
My question is, will my ESA go up when I'm put on Severe dissability premiums because it DID go up when I was awarded Enhanced dissability premium?

If you qualify for the Premium then yes.
