in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi I am claiming universal credit, but my daughter who lives with me gets legacy benefits and is entitled to sdp, I wondered if she claims this will it be deducted from universal credit?

    Hi and welcome 

    To claim sdp you need to live alone or with someone who is claiming a disability benefit like PIP 

    If she claims it is an extra payment to her and not part of your UC

    Thankyou for your reply, I do get pip, but thought the sdp may be taken into account by universal credit. So wasn't sure about claiming.

    Her benefits and your benefits are separate.
