Replied by Peter Parker on topic esa payment slightly reduced
On the esa letter i received i will still receive enhanced disability along with the new wrag payments, but the letter only states the payments are from 4th november to 1st december 2017 and says nothing about after 1st december. Do you think that perhaps the enhanced premium will stop from 2nd december and then just wrag? Bit sick of all this from dwp. Only a year since my esa tribunal which i won and half a year since pip assessment, which at least was straight forward.

Peter
The Enhanced Premium is paid for two reasons, the claimant is in the Support Group or they are in receipt of DLA Higher Rate Care or PIP Enhanced Daily Living. So if you have a qualifying DLA or PIP award then the EDP remain in payment and if you don't then it will stop immediately.
The date in December is undoubtedly related to the payment of the Christmas Bonus, your current award remains in payment until a new Decision changes it or 365 days if you are receiving ESA(CB), after which you may be eligible for ESA(IR).

Sorry, meant to say severe disability premium rather than enhanced.

OK, the Severe Disability Premium is still payable as long as you continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
