Or will it only affect them if they’re receding Severe Disability Premium

Having a carer won't affect their benefits
It only affects sdp if someone claims carers allowance for caring for them -

If they qualify they simply need to ring ESA to get it added to their award (including backdated arrears).Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Thanks. They have a daughter 27yrs old who lives at home, who works full time.
