As you say you live with your children and the eldest one is 21 then unless he/she reacieves a qualifying benefit of either DLA mid/high rate care or PIP daily living then unfortunately you're not eligible for this Severe diability premium. Once of the many criteria of this is you live alone or your classed as living alone. Living with a 21 year old i'm afraid doesn't class you as living alone.0 -
My 21 year old and 19 year old don't live with me but my husband does so that counts me out thanks for your help0

Hi @chezybelle, and a belated welcome! Just to add to the above, you might like to check out the online benefits calculator to see if there's anything else you may be eligible for.1
