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

...or the carer element of UC.

They don’t get SDP they get enhanced premium.

If they live alone (or if any other adults they live with also get a disability benefit) then they are entitled to the SDP if nobody claims Carers Allowance or the carer element of UC for looking after them.
If they qualify they simply need to ring ESA to get it added to their award (including backdated arrears).

Thanks. They have a daughter 27yrs old who lives at home, who works full time.

So SDP is not applicable.
