Claiming Disability Premiums. was created by RHAN
Hi all

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible for me to claim Disability Premium & Enhanced disability premium if I don’t receive any other benefits?

Im under state pension age, husband is over state pension age.
I only claim PIP ST Mobility & Enhanced DL for myself.
Husband is under the old legacy benefits.

I don't claim anything else, I live solely under my husband who receives the following :
state pension, Pension credit guarantee(includes severe disability premium couples rate, carers premium) and his PIP DL Enhanced .
He also claims housing benefit at couples rate.

So im Wondering if Im entitled to these two disability premiums?
The Disability premium and Enhanced disability premium.

Thanks in advance, any input given on this subject is much appreciated.

Hi RHAN

To answer your question - So im Wondering if Im entitled to these two disability premiums?
The Disability premium and Enhanced disability premium.

The answer is no as these premiums are paid with ESA and anyway would not be paid if a member of the couple was in receipt of the pensioner premium.

You are in a mixed age couple and are fortunate to have avoided being moved to Universal Credit.

Hope this helps
