Esa assessment phase and Edp

Thank you so much. I have today heard (after completing the form you mentioned) that I have been awarded SDP and have backdated from start of my claim 31st october. This means I now get the basic allowance for single over 25 assess phase and SDP. My question is.... Should EDP £15.75 "Disability Guarantee" also be in payment? or just what I am getting now. I am on full PIP and have transferred over from income support (was getting more than I am getting now).
Thanks again
Diane

Hi Gordon,

I did call (twice) to ask but was told I'm getting the SDP and I can't be on both. Its either SDP OR EDP. What should I do?

I wouldnt be getting SDP if I hadn't joined here and been advised of what form to fill in (IS10)

Thanks
Diane

Hi Gordon,
On your advice I wrote to them (find it difficult to talk on the phone). Today I received a letter saying they have looked at my claim again and have awarded me the extra EDP and placed me in support group but not untill the 30th Jan 2016. They don't mention anything about Paying the EDP which I should have had backdated to 31st Oct 2015 like they did with my SDP. I'm not quite sure what to do now as my letter to them was clear and I provided information from this site that clearly shows I should have been getting EDP. What do you suggest I do now.

Thank you for your help so far. I wouldn't have got the SDP added and back dated without your help. I even explained I had transitioned from income support and was on more benefit but they have not mentioned this at all.

Thanks

Hi
I suggest you write back asking for clarification of their decision or submit an appeal against the decision.
You should also copy in your MP. They may be able to exert some pressure for clear incompetence of the DWP.
