I'm currently waiting on pip payments to be sorted after tribunal win, I wasn't aware of this sdp, I have my brother and sister helping with daily things, my brother stays over now and again but does not live with me, (he has his own flat) am I entitled to this extra premium. I'm a single mum who lives alone.

    Hi smokeyjoey

    To receive SDP you will need to have an IR element in your claim
    also you need to live alone, no one claims carers allowance for you and have PIP DL award
    If you meet the criteria, often you will have to claim it  but this can be done over the phone

    Once your award is sorted out you should also get the SDP backdated to when you became elegable
    You should ring DWP, you might have to fill in an IS10 but it can usually be done over the phone
    good luck

    sorry lisabrazil

    it is hard to speculate what points might be awarded. All you can do is explain as fully as you can the difficulties you have
