Whilst you can be considered as living alone if the other people you live with also receive a qualifying benefit such as DLA Medium or Higher rate Care or PIP Daily Living, all of them must be receiving it for you to qualify for SDP.

Your post refers to "parents" but you only mention one qualifying award?

So for you to receive the SDP, both of them would need too be receiving DLA or PIP.
