For you to be able to claim the severe disability premium because you live with your son then he would also need to be claiming either PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care. If he doesn't claim either of those then you won't be entitled to the SDP.1

that what i thought poppy123456 but only because he said that to me i wondered thanxs0

When a decision maker looks at the claim and the information you gave they will know that you're not entitled, i assume when you gave the information on the phone you told them your son lives with you.When ringing DWP you are ringing a call centre, who are not trained to give benefits advice.0
