contents We consider local weak solutions of widely degenerate elliptic PDEs of the type \begin{equation} \label{equazione mia} \mathrm{div}\Biggl(a(x)(|Du|-1)^{p-1}_+\frac{Du}{|Du|}\Biggr)=b(x,u) \ \ \text{ in }Ω, \end{equation} where $2\leq p<\infty,\textbf{ } Ω$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n,n>2,$ and $( \ \cdot \ )_+$ stands for the positive part. We establish a higher differentiability result for the composition of the gradient with a suitable function that vanishes in the unit ball for the gradient, under suitable assumptions on the datum $b(x,u)$ and the coefficient $a(x).$ The novelty here with respect to previous papers on the subject is that the right hand side explicitly depends on the solution $u.$
