Hi Agis

It is not a straight forward and depends on a number of factors; we would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk

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 or Pension Credit.

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.

Some claimants can apply for IR ESA to top up their CB ESA, you do need to seek specialist advice.
