Because she gets AA you wouldn’t lose the SDP.You don’t actually say what benefit you are claiming that includes the SDP.Can you clarify whether you pay no Council Tax because you have a discount or because your Council Tax is covered by Council Tax Reduction.
You say that you pay ‘room tax’. Do you mean that you claim Housing Benefit but it doesn’t cover all of your rent because you have a spare room.
Could you clarify whether your rent privately or from your local authority or housing association and how many bedrooms you have.
Does mum receive anything other than her State Pension and AA or does she get Pension Credit. If the latter does she get SDP in her PC?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
