    If you’re now treated as living alone (no other adults living with you) then yes you will be able to reclaim the SDP. You will need to ring ESA to reclaim it.

    Hi @nannie234 - if no one gets Carers Allowance for you, rather you are claiming Carers Allowance (CA) for looking after your husband, then you should be able to get the Severe Disability Payment (SDP) if you both have an award of the daily living component of PIP. The SDP would be £76.40 a week as you claim CA for looking after your husband, if I'm reading your post correctly.
