I am currently on esa assessment phase ir £73.00 weekly. I receive DLA middle care and I have a carer. I know that I can not claim SDP as I have a carer but are there other disability premium available? I was on income support and received more money now I'm 30 pounds a week less?

I'm afraid not at this time. However it would be worth your putting your information into one of the online benefit calculators to see whether you would qualify for any other benefits such as Housing Benefits. See
Income Support includes a Disability Premium (the missing £30), this is not payable with ESA and is replaced by either the WRAG component or SG component if an award is made.
