Hello zambrano and welcome
To receive SDP you also need to be in receipt of an IR payment with your ESA.
If your ESA is contribution based only then SDP will not be payable
Try putting your details into the on line benefits calcilator
If you think you do still qualify then you will need to complete ESA 3 which is just a financial check

Hi @zambrano37, and welcome!
As mentioned above, the online benefits calculator is a great place to check if there's anything else you could be entitled to. You might also be interested in these other concessions that you may be eligible for if you claim PIP. Hope this helps!
