Severe Disability Premium and ESA-UC migration

More

In the B+W guide to migration from ESA to UC, I note the following example of a situation in which migration would NOT be triggered:

"You are an irESA claimant and you are awarded the daily living component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP). You live alone and no-one claims Carer’s Allowance for looking after you. You are now entitled to a Severe Disability Premium to increase your ESA and a UC claim would not be triggered". [p11]

I receive irESA and SDP. My PIP - now ADP - is due to be reviewed.

My query has regard to what link there may be between Severe Disabilty Premium and migration, and is as follows: if the outcome of the review of my ADP results in me losing SDP, will this be a change of circumstances which will serve to trigger migration from irESA to UC?

Many thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can offer.

No, this scenario would not require a claim for UC.
