Hi Agis
It is not a straight forward and depends on a number of factors; we would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk
the SDP became payable from the first day that all three of the following applied.
1. You had an award of ESA and we’re receiving or were entitled to receive Income Related ESA or Pension Credit.
2. You had an award of PIP Daily Living
3. You met the criteria for payment of the SD Premium, namely that you lived alone or were considered to be living alone and no one receives Carers Allowance against your PIP award.
Some claimants can apply for IR ESA to top up their CB ESA, you do need to seek specialist advice.

Dear Gary,
Should I first apply for IR Esa (through esa3 form) and only after being awarded apply for disability premium through IS10 form, or I should just submit IS 10 form?

Hi Agis
I am not sure if you can now apply for IR ESA, you might be asked to apply for UC depending on your circumstances. I would ask yourlocal Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk , they will be able to take all your circumstances into consideration when giving advice.
