Enhanced disability premium - qualifying criteria?

I have been told that now I have been placed in Support Group (ESA) I am entitled to the Enhanced Disability Premium.

Different publication contradict this statement as I am only on LRC & LRM where DLA is concerned but one publication states that being in the Support Group and a single person qualifies you for the EDP.

Does anyone have any knowledge of where I can check this please and were qualifying details different in 2010/2011 than they are now?

thank you,

Lisa
