Congratulations on the award, well done.

The Premiums are not payable with Contribution Based ESA, you can ask to be assessed for Income Related ESA, this will be paid as a top-up to your ESA(CB). ESA(IR) is dependant on your household income, your savings and assets, and any hours that your partner works. See

Asset and savings rule for ESA(IR)

24 hour work rule for ESA(IR)
