SDP - Severe Disability Premium was created by Simonalex
Hi everyone
I’ve been on UC for some time and have recently been awarded PIP as a result of a successful tribunal appeal. I have been awarded the standard rate for Mobility and Daily Living.
I have asked the DWP if I’m entitled to SDP as their website indicates that I am as I’m on UC and I’m living on my own with nobody claiming carers allowance for me. Although their website indicates I am entitled to SDP my DWP case manager says I’m not because I don’t get ESA.
I’m confused as ESA is only one of a number of qualifying benefits necessary to be eligible for SDP. Another qualifying benefit is PIP daily diving.
Could anyone tell me if I’m correct in thinking I’m eligible for SDP

Hi Simonalex
I have answered your previous post.
You cannot get a SDP if you are claiming UC, there are no disability premiums for UC claimants, all you can claim is LCWRA.
