Severe Disability Premium(SDP)

I came across information about SDP on the www.hlp.entitledto.co.uk website.

The site suggested that you might be eligible for SDP or another similar premium if you are a single person and
you receive a qualifying disability benefit ( Attendance Allowance, constant Attendance Allowance or the care component of Disability Living Allowance at the middle or highest rate); and.
no-one gets paid Carer's Allowance (CA) for looking after you.

I have not heard of this premium before and wonder if a current recipient of Incapacity Benefit, Higher Rate Mobility and Highest Rate Care Components of DLA would be eligible?

A similar query would be whether the same recipient of IB and DLA would be eligible for Income Support and other premiums?

The www.focusondisability.org.uk website gives information whilst ttp://www.dsdni.gov.uk/index/ssa/benefit_information discusses "Income Support - Premiums" in vague terms.

Does anyone know the eligibilty criteria for these premiums and is there an Income Support entitlement when receiving IB and DLA?

Take a look at this website it may help:-
