If you can do this then you may find you get the Severe Disability Premium. I was on Incapacity Benefit and claimed Income Support with the Disability Premium, Severe Disability Premium and Enhanced Disability Premium as I have 'severe Mental Issues' (Schizophrenia).gnore ANYONE who says you can only get the Severe Disability Premium if you are 'Physically Disabled' as this is horse crap. People who say this are complete IDIOTS and know nothing of the Benefit System.
Learn about cost of living increases that affect your monthly disability benefit amount. In past years, disability recipients have usually gotten a small cost of living increase to their Social Security Disability (SSD) or SSI disability benefits each year. The term the federal government uses for cost of living increases is COLA, which stands for cost-of-living adjustment.
