Hi I just want to know if someone is getting PIP and ESA together are they still entitled to disability premiums on top?
Thanks
Thanks

Providing that they are still eligible to receive the Premiums and entitled to payment. In general, receiving ESA and PIP enables the payment of Premiums rather than prevents it.

Thanks. I am receiving PIP and also income support and get the disability premiums. Things will be changing for me when my youngest turns 5 and I won't get income support. As I am unfit to work I expect I will have to apply for ESA and wasn't sure if I would lose the premiums.
Thanks

OK in this scenario you will lose the Disability Premium, if you are placed in the WRAG then it will not be replaced, if you are placed in the Support Group then you will receive the SG component which should be more.
