    The SDP will not affect any other benefits in a bad way and you'll continue to receive what you were receiving before the SDP was added.

    Hi, 

    You say you live with parents, if this is both parents then they will both need to be claiming a qualifying benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care for you to qualify. No one must also be claiming carers allowance or carers element of universal credit for looking after you.
