Hi JPC

I have looked through your posts but there is no mention of you receiving PIP. If you do not receive PIP then you will not receive a SDP, if you have been placed in the support group then you should have received an enhanced Disibility premium (EDP), this premium is not dependant on you having a carer or not.

The SDP became payable from the first day that all three of the following applied.

1. You had an award of ESA and we’re receiving or were entitled to receive Income Related ESA.

2. You had an award of PIP Daily Living

3. You met the criteria for payment of the SD Premium, namely that you lived alone or were considered to be living alone and no one receives Carers Allowance against your PIP award or as a couple you can qualify if both you and your partner get a qualifying benefit (PIP daily living).

Hi Mods
Update from my previous posts.
Still no reply from ESA about my "error"
No reply from MR from April. Telephoned ESA .Lovely lady sending my enquiries,concerns as to why MR has not been answered since April 2021.
CAB unfortunately lost my signed form of authority, so she can ring ESA on my behalf. 20th April 2021. CAB found my Form of Authority 30th June 2021. Woohoo! After asking CAB if we should send manager a letter wishing to conclude this matter of error. CAB wants to ask them to look at the MR i submitted. 10th July2021. Still no reply.

Had to fill in PIP form and have had a telephone assessment which was exhausting and long awaited, nearly 6 months waiting for assessment.

Hi Jackie

We cannot give you a definitive answer as we do not know all the facts.

You talk about your carer, does your carer claim carers allowance for looking after you?

Are you talking about a Severe Disability Premium or an Enhanced Disability premium or both?

This is why on the forum we do not give individual advice as we do not know all the facts, we can only give general advice or refer you to your local Welfare Rights Organisation to get specific advice on your current situation.

Sorry we cannot be more specific.
