Hi Gordon, I have read that link thanks, but I read it as that you can only get enhanced premium if I am claiming income based ESA, my husband would be claiming income support as my carer and not sure if it reads that I have to be on enhanced PIP Care ( I am only on standard) or is it the fact that we would get disability premium. It's very ambiguous. The carers premium was used in the calculation thankyou. Sorry about the long query, it's just it is the difference between getting IS or just our own income.

Unfortunately, this is why we say you should get face to face advice from a trained advisor who can work out what you will get on each benefit. the calculators are good but they can only work on what you put into it.
Re-reading the link it looks like the EDP for IS is only payable for Enhanced Daily Living or DLA Higher Rate Care and not for ESA SG as it is with ESA(IR).
