Carers allowance and severe dis premiums

Good morning,
I live with my sister in her owned house, she is my carer of over 35+ hours per week but she has never claimed carers allowance. Can you confirm something I was told yesterday - that I should be in receipt of 'severe' disability premium' as part of my ESA payments. I received a letter a couple of years back and it did state that in the calc but I went to CAB and the guy told me not to accept that as I did not live alone and they would claw it back, I contacted the dwp and they immediately recalculated my claim and that sdp had disappeared. Is what I was told yesterday incorrect do you think, I dont think I should receive sdp because Im although I am on high rate pip and the fact that I already receive a Disability income guarantee and an amount because I am in support group. I hope this makes sense??

I knew in the back of my brain this came up before because they the DWp told me I would get it and the legal guy from CAB said NO NO NO do not accept that as you dont live alone and would end up paying back a heap of money. This time the CAB dif person has got it wrong and told me I should receive it! Thank you my expert Gordon once again you have helped me. x

As you live with your sister and she cares for you and you get enhanced rate PIP you should check to see given your situation if she can make a claim for carers allowance for herself, if she works she can care and still earn earn £123 per week. If she applies she could claim 3 months back from date of claim if she has cared for you during this period.
