Hi mickeyblue26
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum
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. To get the enhanced disability premium you need to be in receipt of IR ESA and in the support group.
If you meet the above criteria then contact DWP and ask for an any time review, you may want to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk
