Based on this description I don't believe you would qualify for the Severe Disability Premium, however, as I said it ultimately up to a DM to make the Decision.

iv just read that you are treated as living alone if; the other person living with you is a dependant under 18yrs or
the person living with you are themselves disabled

other than that you would not get the sever disability premium, but someone may be able to claim Carers Allowance for looking after you

however if you do qualify for the severe disability premium, not to let someone claim carers allowance because you will then lose your severe disability premium.

many thanks
