Usually putting SDP in place is quite quick but if you no longer receive IS I guess it may take a bit longer.
What benefits (if any) do you now receive?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -

@calcotti
thank you I’m not sure if I will be entitled to this as I changed to UC myself it wasn’t a transition or change of circumstances I thought it was easier to deal with everything at once than differently but at the time I was still appealing PIP I didn’t realise there was such thing as SDP

@calcotti my claim for UC was made may last year and then LCWRA was awarded in sept. (due to them saying you don’t get paid for the first 3 sick notes )

So you may be entitled to SDP transitional element for those first three months.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
