Confused about ESA disability premiums was created by nick h.
I can't find a download which explains this subject. Apologies if I haven't looked properly.
I've just got my PIP award letter which says that (following my successful appeal) I'm getting Enhanced Daily Living and Enhanced Mobility, backdated to May 2017. It says I may be entitled to extra ESA but I should contact the office which issues it to find out. I had assumed it would be calculated and paid automatically. Prior to the appeal I was on Standard Daily Living and I'd like to check whether I was getting the ESA I was entitled to. I've been getting £376 twice a month.

I assume you are in the Support Group and have no partner
So you current ESA payment every two weeks is £188 and is comprised of the following
- Personal Allowance (£73.10)
- Support Group (£36.55)
- Enhanced Disability Premium for being in the SG, appears as Disability Income Guarantee on your ESA Entitlement letters (£15.90)
- Severe Disability Premium appears as Because you are severely Disabled (£62.45)

Thanks again Gordon. Seems that I'm already getting everything that I could possibly ask for!
