    Good news. Whether you're entitled to SDP will depend on which ESA you're claiming and who you live with?
    Are you claiming Income Related ESA?
    Do you live alone or with other adults?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Then you'll only be entitled to Severe disability premium if your dad is either claiming a qualifying disability there self such as PIP daily living, DLA mid high rate care or Attendance Allowance or they are registered blind. If none of those apply to him then you will not be entitled to SDP.

    You'll need to wait until your PIP award is in payment. Once it is ring ESA to ask to claim the SDP and fill out the form over the phone. It's a very straight forward form and shouldn't take any longer than about 10 minutes. Once a decision is made you will be contacted.

    Does your dad claim any means tested benefits like Income Related ESA/JSA, Income Support or Pension credit? If so and no one claims carers allowance or carers element of UC for looking after him then he will also be entitled to the SDP.

    It depends on if you owe debt to DWP. If you don't then you will usually be paid 3-5 days after being awarded, if you do owe money, it can take a lot longer, because the Debt Management need to recieve payment before you will get any owed backdated money. My sister had to wait 2 months although I don't know how common that is.

    It shouldn't matter how large the backpayment, my hubby got a call off the DM saying he'd been awarded and had it 3 days later, it was a lot of money. It depends whether there is an upcoming weekend. Hopefully you should get it wednesday- Friday.

    As this is a Tribunal decision then it can take up to about 8 weeks, sometimes longer.

    I didn't realise it was a tribunal decision, like poppy stated...she's correct it could take longer.

    Payments don't usually go in through the day, unless it's a fast payment. BACS payments usually clear in the early hours. For my bank it's usually around 3am.
