ESA payment was created by Gail

Whilst speaking to dwp in July we were informed that because both my husband and I both claimed contributions based esa support group and pip then we qualified for further benefit.
This took my husbands benefit from £221.50 per fortnight to £385.20 per fortnight
We do not know what benefit this extra money is but we're led to believe it was a disability premium
If anyone can explain what this extra money is or if it's a mistake we would be very grateful

I can't get to £385.20 exactly but I don't know all of your circumstances, but basically, the maths is as follows, I'm using weekly amounts;

Couples Allowance - £114.85 (up from single - £73.10)
Support component - £37.65
Couples Enhanced Disability Premium - £23.55 (for being in the SG)
Couples Severe Disability Premium - £128.60 (for PIP DL award)
Total - £304.65

From this is deducted your

Single Allowance - £73.10
SG Component - £37.65
Total - £110.75

Leaving - £193.90

Fortnightly - £387.80

I'm not sure where the £1.30 per week is.
