Refused SDP due to no fixed abode help!

Hi all I am on income based ESA and recently been awarded standard rate care component pip( which I am appealing) I lost my flat due to my illnesses and have been sofa surfing with friends and family doe over 2 years. However I have no partner none claims carers allowance or and I am alone
I meet the requirements for sdp but when I applied for it they used my correspondence address for checks and I was told that I dont count as living alone.. I've tried o ind the rules to this but it doesn't seem to make sense. Was hoping someone might be able to help.
