Thank you Gordon. Much appreciated.
So presumably if I AM entitled to the Social Tariff (I would have to switch supplier as the Co-op don't appear to do a social tariff. I'll try BT as Vodaphone don't supply my postcode, so they say) I should also be entitled to the £150 Disability Cost of Living payments? I DID get the higher amount, but I have never received the £150 payments.
Or have I got this wrong?

I would ask whether they do a reduced tariff, If you need to switch then check your contract with the Co-Op as there may be a cancellation fee.
The £150 payment is based on your receiving a disability benefit such as PIP, DLA, or AA.

If you are receiving the Disability Income Guarantee then you are receiving ESA(CB) with an ESA(IB) top-up, so you are receiving both versions of legacy ESA.
Hi Gordon
I was trying to establish what I receive, all I knew was that I was in the support group for esa, but my letter states the disability income guarantee of £21.20 so does that mean my award is mixed CB and IR? I also get enhanced rates for both elements of pip.
I havent received my migration letter but discovering part of my award has been CB all along has confused me, so can you tell me what happens when I do migrate please and into what group?
Many thanks

Hi plampard1st
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.
You are replying to a post that is nearly 2 years old.
Yes you are receiving both IR ESA and CB ESA. You cannot get any disability premiums with CB ESA, you get disability premiums with IR ESA.
So what does this mean when you get your migration letter.
When you apply for UC your IR ESA will stop and your CB ESA will move over to NS ESA, NS ESA will be deducted £ for £ from your UC.
UC is paid monthly whereas NS ESA is paid fortnightly.

Are you sure you didn't receive some of the payments? Just i ask as I thought I didn't receive the £10.00 Christmas bonus but on closer inspection it was combined with the standard payments....... 🤷♀️
