    He cannot get SDP because that refers to the old income based ESA. He isn’t getting that because it has been replaced by UC which is what you are both claiming.

    (Even if he was on the old income based ESA he wouldn’t get SDP because he lives with you and you don’t get PIP and because you receive CA for looking after him.)
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Would you be able to tell us a bit more about what you're looking for, e.g. New windows, window repair, and what kind of accommodation you're in, e.g. privately rented, social housing @penpo?
