hello
I currently recieve irea,
i get a enhanced premium and extra money for being in support included
what is the criteria to get SDA if the above premiums arnt classed as SDA
Thankyou
For SDP you must either live alone or be treated as living alone, as I advised on your other thread here.
I see that you're living with your son so unless he either claims a qualifying disability benefit himself or he's registered blind then you will not be entitled to SDP.
thankyou what does “treated as living alone mean?”
.. like if i had a lodger say?
Treated as living alone means things like a separate tenancy agreement from those you live with, or adults claiming qualifying disability benefits, or registered blind or a lodger yes. However income from a lodger affects Income Related ESA and only £20/week of income from the lodger is disregarded. After that your ESA is reduced £1 for £1. Unless at least 1 meal is included then your ESA is reduced by 50% for income of £20 and above.
None of that is relevant here though because you live with your adult son who doesn't claim a disability benefit and isn't registered blind.
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
