Congratulations on the award.

If you are receiving Income Related ESA in part or in whole, or you are eligible to receive ESA(IR) then you would be entitled to the Enhanced Disability Premium as a result of your Enhanced Daily Living award, if you are in the SG then you should already be receiving this. The EDP is about £15/week.

Also, if you live alone or are considered as living alone and no one is receiving Carers Allowance for you the you should be entitled to the Severe Disability Premium, about £60/week.
