SDP doesn't exist when claiming UC. When you claimed UC were you claiming a benefit such as Income Related ESA/JSA or Income Support that included the SDP? If so what was the reason why you claimed UC?

You maybe entitled to SDP transitional protection but it will depend on your circumstances when you claimed UC.

HI POPPY IT WAS C.A.B. THAT INFORMED ME ABOUT THE SDP BENEFIT THEN I INFORMED UC. UC INFORMED ME YES I WAS RIGHT WITH SDP AND THEY WOULD BACK DATE IT I DON'T KNOW FROM WHEN UC TOTAL FOR THAT BENEFIT WOULD BE PAID TO MY ACCOUNT WHAT EVER WAS OWNING TO ME. I CLAIM PIP AND ESA THROUGH UC AND I AM REGISTERED DISABLED

That's not possible at all. PIP as nothing to do with UC. ESA is a separate benefit and nothing to do with ESA. You didn't answer my question, i can't help without know more details.

If you were claiming one of those benefits, which one was it?

I'm sorry but it's really difficult to read your comments when you use capital letters because it's classed as shouting when using text.

I can't help further without more details, i'm sorry.

david58

SORRY IF THATS HOW YOU FEEL CAN HONESTLY SAY I AM NOT SHOUTING ITS EASIER FOR ME TO WRITE IN CAPITALS AND I CAN SEE WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN

Hello @david58 and welcome to the community, thanks for explaining why you find it easier to write in capital letters, I'm sure it wasn't your intention to sound like you were shouting

Sometimes block capitals can be difficult to read for anyone with visual impairments using the forum, so please bear that in mind if you can.

I'm sorry to hear about your SDP being stopped, it would be helpful to know if you've claimed Income Related ESA/JSA or Income Support that included the SDP?

How are you finding managing your conditions at the moment? Do you feel like you're getting enough support?

david58

HI ALEX THANKS FOR YOUR MESSAGE I CLAIM ESA WITH UC. I THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT PEOPLE READING IN CAPITALS I DID NOT REALISE THAT PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO READ WHEN I WRITE IN CAPS ON VISUAL IMPAIRMENT I WILL TRY AND NOT PUT MY CAPS ON WHEN I WRITE THANK YOU AND I'M SORRY TO POPPY FOR SAYING WHAT I SAID THANKS

If you're claiming ESA and UC then your ESA will be New style ESA and there's no SDP payable with this or UC.

Before you claimed UC which benefits exactly were you claiming?
