Great news! It's yours to spend on what ever you want. Enjoy it and treat yourself to something nice.

Dotty123

Now does it mean I get the sdp £65 week on my benefit 

poppy123456

If the criteria applies to you then yes. Your decision letter should tell you.

Dotty123

Ok thank does that mean even tho got back dated money I may not get the allowance weekly sorry to bother you 

poppy123456

Yes that's what it means. You will only receive it each week going forward if the criteria still applies to you.

You must live alone or be classed as living alone and no one must be claiming carers allowance or carer element of Universal credit for looking after you. You must also be claiming PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care.

Hi I just got my sdp back dated 3yrs now social say I have revised figures for tax why do I pay tax on it for 2018/19 

poppy123456

SDP is not a taxable benefit. Who told you it was because who ever it was is not correct.

Dotty123

I got letter says esa can count as taxable income 2018/19 total all paid £1120 taxable allowance £1001 what is this why get extra esa and take it off me
