Hi,

I am claiming ESA, WRAG group and have built up to nearly 12 hours a week at work on the permitted work option. My permitted work 52 week limit will end at the end of October 2012. My adviser at the job centre hopes I can do 16 hours then and come off ESA and she will get me on the WTC disability premium. The thing is, is anyone else on this,how does it work and do you have to attend any medicals to claim it like ESA?

Many thanks

As moderators our area of expertise is in relation to disability living allowance, attendance allowance, the personal capability assessment used in connection with incapacity benefits, and the work capability assessment used in connection with employment and support allowance. So those are the only subjects on which we can provide reliable information.

Unfortunately we cannot deal with tax credit enquiries in this forum.

I too am interested in this but have struggled to find the information within the link as to wether or not you would have to face Atros for a medical?

Maybe I am just having a cloudy day? are the any other members on this scheme who could help with information?

Thanks

If you follow the TCTM02510 link from the link in my previous post, it describes each of the qualifying cases, these are all based on the claimnat receiving/having received specific benefits and/or premiums.

Thanks gordon.

It would seem this side of things will vanish with the implementation of Universal Credit?

From what I have read on this site there will be no disabled working premium.
