Some people have to pay federal income taxes on their Social Security benefits. This usually happens only if you have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to your benefits.his usually happens only if you have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to your benefits.
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.
If someone claimed Carer's Allowance for looking after you, you would cease to be entitled to Severe Disability Premium. Carer's Allowance has no effect on Contributions Based ESA, as this benefit has no premiums. For more information on PIP, see the sticky PIP thread. Hello again I have been awarded PIP.y relative would like to claim carers allowance for taking care of me but would this effect my contribution based ESA allowance. I have read somewhere that if I got income based ESA then it would effect me but it doesn't tell me about contribution based ESA. Your advice would be much appreciated Thank you.
