I am afraid you need to be receiving High Rate Care on your DLA to be eligible for the Enhanced Disability Premium.

The following page would suggest that you are eligibel for the Disability Premium based on your being in receipt of DLA, however, payment of this should be automatic.

www.dwp.gov.uk/publications/specialist-g.../applicable-amounts/

I would call your local office to check.

Hi Ploopy

From my knowledge of disability premiums and a quick look on the DWP website it seems that the severe disability premium is only payable if you are in receipt of meduim and higher rate DLA care component and you live on your own.

There do not seem to be any premiums payable for the higher rate mobility component.

As has been said previously, best check with your benefitdelivery office, but I am pretty sure I am correct.

Cheers for now

Chris
