I have been awarded PIP enhanced care and mobility, previously I'm was on DLA middle care and enhanced mobility. My husband is my carer and gets carers allowance. I get income based ESA and also child tax credits. Is there anything else I'm entitled to,or any disabled extras to add on, I've tried to work out with benefits calculators but I find it confusing or I'm put it in and it crashes before I get answers. Thanks x
You should be receiving an Enhanced Disability Premium with your ESA, it's shown as a the Disability Income Guarantee on your ESA Entitlement letters, this would be a change from your DLA. If you aren't then contact the DWP office dealing with your claim.
If you get Housing Benefit then it should be at the full rate and you may be eligible for a discount to your Council Tax.
The online calculators should list all of the benefits and entitlements that you are eligible for.
