Severe disability premium
You must get ..one of the following qualifying benefits:
- PIP daily living component
- AFIP
- DLA care component at the middle or highest rate
- Adult Disability Payment - daily living component at the standard or enhanced rate
- Attendance Allowance (or Constant Attendance Allowance paid with Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit or War Pension)
You usually cannot have anyone aged 18 or over living with you, unless they’re in one of these situations:
- they get a qualifying benefit
- they’re registered blind
- they’re a boarder or subtenant (but not a close relative)
- they make separate payments to the landlord
You cannot get the severe disability premium if someone is getting Carer’s Allowance or the carers element of Universal Credit for looking after you.
Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
