    Hi,

    Do you mean the Severe Disability Premium? What do you mean by "written off"? If you've recently claimed the SDP it will be backdated to the date you qualified for it.

    Hi @Nish thanks for joining the community. Has poppy's reply helped answer your question? To help our members find your post, I've moved it to our 'Benefits and financial support' category and changed the title slightly.

    Let us know if you have any further questions :)

    If you mean the arrears of SDP will be used to pay off debts you have with DWP then they can do that.
