Hi, can you apply for SDP if you receive contribution based ESA & PIP daily living standard. I live alone, no-one claims carers allowance for me. Thx

    Hiya I'm afraid No?

    As the SDP is dependent on PIP/DLA awards, can you confirm that as long as you have the qualifying disabled benefit (Daily living PIP or middle/high rate care DLA) and that nobody is claiming carers allowance, you also live alone or are in a couple whom both receive the qualifying disabled benefit then the SDP is added to your ESA regardless of whether it's (IR) or (C)?

    The Severe Disability Premium can be paid with income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) if qualifying conditions are met. The qualifying conditions are described in the Decision Maker’s Guide. Please see DMG 44071 and DMG 44111 and the succeeding paragraphs to DMG 44111 using this link to the Guide.

    Premiums are not payable with contributory ESA. Please see paragraph 44071

    I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.

    Hi,
    This was previously discussed here in Macky47's other thread asking the same question. https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/48446/confusing-esa-letter#latest

    @Macky47 have you filled out the ESA3 form to apply for the Income Related top up? If you have then some have waited 12 weeks to be paid all the money they're owed.

    It's not been 4 weeks yet. If they said 8-12 weeks then i'm not surprised you haven't heard. They will contact you but it takes time.
