    Have you not been receiving SDP during this period? The back-dating is for income related ESA not being paid.
    I am a person with epilepsy not an epileptic, my illness doesn't define me.

    I answered with this comment on your other thread.

    To claim SDP as well as living alone you must have also been claiming either DLA mid/high rate care or PIP daily living and no one must have claimed carers allowance for looking after you. If this is correct then you need to ring ESA and ask to fill out the IS10 form over the phone.
