Hi there,I’m new to this and wasn’t quite sure how to post a new thread so thought it best to comment under someone else’s question on the same subject.

I’m looking for help as I’m on ESA and PIP, I phoned up after learning about SDP and was told over the phone I could apply(a few simple questions) I was then told I would hear back from them to which I received a text message which said;
Payment will be paid to your account for arrears of SDP after quality checks are completed, thanks.!
What I would like to know is ,has anyone else received a text like this and if so how did it go?, and what do “quality checks” mean?.
Just interested to know if know there is a limit of arrears?,as I started pip a year ago. Thanks

If you qualify then the SDP will be backdated to the start of your PIP award. It can take 3-4 weeks for the claim. Hopefully not too long.
