Can I receive SDP?

Martin09

Hello everyone,I am in receipt of ESA ,income related and the support group and also receive high rate daily living and standard rate mobility,I live with my parents due to my illness and just want to know if I can receive  the severe disability premium,my understanding is I cant due to living with my parents who are both on pension credit and claim no disability benefit,is my understanding correct or am I missing something?
Thanks alot

Would your parents be able to claim carers allowance for you in lieu of you not getting SDP? Just wondered?

Hicat-hug,
I havnt tried, they are both on pension credit combined I think so dont know if they can,would be interesting to know if anybody as an answer,thanks cat-hug

Definitely worth looking into as you would have qualified for it had you been living alone... and nobody is claiming carers allowance for you
