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 you extend the term of your COBRA coverage because of disability, you may be required to pay up to 150% of the premium. That is why COBRA can be very expensive.To maintain COBRA coverage, you must pay your premiums in a timely manner.
