📢 Are you eligible for extra cash in your benefits? Over a million people in the UK might be! 💷
If you’re receiving benefits like Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance, or Housing Benefit, you might qualify for disability premiums through the Department for Work and Pensions. These premiums can give you a cash boost each week and come in three types: the standard, severe, and enhanced disability premiums.
1️⃣ **Standard Disability Premium:**
– Single: £43.20 per week
– Couples: £61.65 per week
Eligibility: Must be under pension credit age, registered blind, or receiving certain disability-related support like PIP, DLA, or AFIP.
2️⃣ **Severe Disability Premium:**
– Single: £82.90 per week
– Eligible Couples: Up to £165.80 per week
Eligibility: Must receive the disability premium or certain ESA payments, alongside PIP, AFIP, or DLA at specific rates. Note, this premium isn’t available if someone gets a Carer’s Allowance for looking after you.
3️⃣ **Enhanced Disability Premium:**
– Single: £21.20 per week
– Couples: £30.25 per week
Eligibility: Must be under pension credit age and get the disability premium or relevant ESA, with benefits like the PIP daily living component at enhanced rates.
If eligible, these premiums should be automatically added to your payments. Make sure you’re getting what you’re entitled to and contact your local Jobcentre Plus if you think there’s an error. Every bit counts when it comes to supporting yourself or a loved one. 💪
Stay informed and keep an eye on what’s available to you! 😊💬
