hi guys, i got a letter out of nowhere the other day, saying i might be entitled to severe disablement allowance, i suffer with manic depression and schizophrenia,i am on all the qualifying benefits like ESA support group and p.i.p care, I already receive the enhanced premium and the disability premium, i live in a council house that me and my dad rent from a council tenant as lodgers or subtenants not sure what i am classed as, nobody gets carers allowance for me, i pay rent to the council tenant and so does my dad, i use the money i am already getting to pay rent, am i entitled to SDP thank you any replies would be great

But I'm not too sure you would qualify as you already get the other premiums
Also is your rental legit as I thought it was against council tenants agreements to be able sublet
I would check with welfare rights it cab anput if you are entitled to the premium

Disability premium
You or your partner must be under pension credit age and either registered blind or getting:
If you do not qualify, you may still get the premium if you’ve been unable to work for at least a year.
Source: https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums/eligibility
living expenses £74.35
enhanced premium £17.50
limited capability for work 39.20 (at first thought this was the disability premium ?)
total £130.65
i also thought that my living expenses would be higher, seems I'm getting the work-related rate?
See the top of this page: https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums/eligibility
I claim CB ESA, awaiting assessment. I am hopeful I will be allocated to the support group. I also receive PIP, enhanced DL, standard Mob.
Given I am not entitled to any income-related benefits, does that mean I am also not entitled to EDP at all? If I am possibly entitled, is my entitlement dependent on being allocated to the support group?
I'm sure I've asked this before but, as I say, I keep becoming confused reading the Gov.UK site.
Thanks.
