Severe Disability Allowance

Hi All, I receive Severe Disability Allowance (this was the benefit that preceded Incapacity Benefit). I was never moved to Incapacity Benefit. I do not have to submit medical certificates from my G.P. nor does my benefit come up for reassessment. I was told that as I receive high rate care component of DLA that I do not need to send in certificates. When the country wide migration commences next year, how will I be treated as I have no reassessment date. If anyone has any information about this, I would be very grateful.

Dear San100
I am also on SDA and in same predicament as yourself, I would also like to know what is going to happen to us people

Some disabled customers are treated differently. Customers currently claiming Severe Disablement Allowance will be reassessed at the end of the reassessment process. Whilst some of these customers could benefit from the additional support available on Employment and Support Allowance, these are likely to be some of our most vulnerable customers and we have limited evidence of the likely outcomes for this customer group. Therefore, by reassessing them at the end of the time period, we will have learnt the lessons of a considerable period of live running. This will help ensure we are best placed to support these customers.

Me too, I am SDA found this on the link posted on the other forum here
