Pip Premium was created by Kimbychick
I had been on DLA for 8 years and always had my Income Support topped up by around £30 a month (sorry I don't know the name of this benefit I know it's something premium). Anyway my DLA stopped so the premium has stopped.
I am waiting on my PIP decision but can you tell me if I am successful will I be awared the premium to my Income Support again? Also what rate of PIP entitles someone Carer's Allowance?
Thanks

PIP enables the same Premiums as DLA so as long as you receive an suitable award then the Disability Premium will be added again.
Any PIP Daily Living award enables a Carers Allowance claim.

Hi K,
Any "Premiums" that you received as a result of your Higher or Middle Rate Care Award would stop if you lose the DLA Care Award.
If you are successful in obtaining any PIP Daily Living Award (Standard or Enhanced) your "Premiums" should be reinstated and back paid to the date that you lost them.
Any PIP Daily Living Award (Standard or Enhanced) entitles another person to claim CA for providing care for you.
