Hi, my name is Cappy12! Should I still get this SDP payment?

Cappy12

Before I started receiving state Pension I got ESA & PIP, but added to my ESA, was SDP, severe disability premium, when I started getting pension, WAS stopped but also the A DO payment, should I still be getting this, now I'm a pensioner?

Not A DO, SDP*

Hi @Cappy12 - & welcome to the community. It may be possible to claim the SDP with pension credit.

You could look to see if you're eligible as this can help once past state pension age depending on your circumstances, & which may then offer additional help (housing benefit, council tax reduction, etc). You can see about eligiblity by checking online here: https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit/eligibility

If eligible, you can apply online here: https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit/how-to-claim
