ESA and premiums was created by mumsgirl
At the moment I get DLA and ESA support group with extra premiums. I'm not sure why I get the premiums (it was the local mental health association that sorted it all out for me). Can you please tell me why I get those premiums? Is it because I get DLA (which may end soon), or is it because I was the sole adult? My daughter has just left school so I need to know if I should inform them to stop paying me them because maybe she is an 'adult' although she doesnt work and is going to college in September?

The following link lists the ESA Premiums and why they are awarded.

I believe the critical test for you daughter is whether you are still receiving Child Benefit for her but I would still inform the DWP of her leaving school and explain what she will be doing. Write to the DWP office dealing with your claim and I would send the letter by a Tracked post so that you have proof of delivery.
