    Hi,

    I've never heard of severe disability pension. The Severe disability premium is paid with  pension credit, if eligible if that's what you mean.
    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.

    Hi poppy when i filled in my housing benefit form it said do you get severe disability pension i ticked yes and now all im doing is worrying about it :( im under pension age so it looks like i might have ticked the wrong box as i get severe disability premium.
    I hope im not in trouble as its an honest mistake :(.
