It can be a bit complicated so would be worth making an appointment with the Citizens Advice.

Hi my friend

According to the *GOV.UK website to be eligible you must be:

*Eligibility

To qualify for a disability premium with Income Support or income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), you or your partner must be under pension credit age and either registered blind or getting:

Disability Living Allowance (DLA)

Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)

Working Tax Credit with a disability element

Attendance Allowance

Constant Attendance Allowance

War Pensioners Mobility Supplement

Severe Disablement Allowance

Incapacity Benefit

If you don’t qualify, you may still get the premium if you’ve been unable to work for at least a year.

So it is probably worth you applying? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
