    He can request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) but before doing so he may want to get some expert advice, for that start here. https://advicelocal.uk/

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Nope i didn't say that. Its totally possible for different decision makers to make different decisions. Just so that you're aware, it's just the Severe disability premium in question and not anything else.

    The money he receives now is safe and will continue. The SDP in question, which is what he's been refused is an extra £67.30 per week.

    As poppy said it is only the SDP that is in question. The basic award is not affected by the question of where the son lives.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    If the Son claims carers allowance for looking after him then he won't be entitled to SDP from the date he claims CA. Part of the criteria for SDP is no one claims CA or carers element of UC for looking after you.
    Where does the son's mail go to?
