Normally there is a limit ot how long benefits can be backdated, but this should not apply to Premiums, as long as you would have been eligible to receive the Premium is should be backdated.

Hi Gordon,

Just a question really what is this living alone premium the OP is reffering too ?

CV

I believe they are referring to the Severe Disability Premium.

See

ESA Premiums

To be clear, a claimant needs to be receiving ESA(IR) or ESA(IR) as a top-up to their ESA(CB) to be eligible to receive the ESA Premiums.
