Regarding ESA Severe Disability Premium -
1. Is this specific premium component means tested? (ESA is means tested. I just wondered about the S.D.P.)
2. After State pension age, do I continue to receive it?
Thanks a lot for any comments.

Hi @ESABenefitsUK123, the SPD component is given if you have one of the following:Severe disability premiumIf you continue to qualify for these benefits then it continues to be given after state pension age.
You must get the disability premium or income-related ESA, and one of the following qualifying benefits:- PIP daily living component
- AFIP
- DLA care component at the middle or highest rate
- Attendance Allowance (or Constant Attendance Allowance paid with Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit or War Pension)
I hope this helps.1 -
