    You definitely misunderstood the reasons why you qualified for the Income related top up because paying too much NI Contributions is not one of the reasons.

    Not living with a partner or having no savings will have qualified you.

    It will also depend on which group you were in when you transferred across...WRAG or Support Group. If it was WRAG there's less change of being owed any money.

    Hi I’m new to this chat . I also got changed over from incapacity to esa back in 2011. Have filled in esa3 form and sent back . I have lived alone also was getting independence payment. Am I right in believing as was/am living alone I will be getting sdp for that time. In this last few months I Have started to get sdp premium with my esa. Many thanks

    You will only receive SDP during that time if you were claiming a qualifying benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care. If you weren't claiming any of those at any time during the dates in the letter then you won't be entitled to the SDP.

    You must have been assessed for the Income Related at some point because you're already claiming the SDP and that's only paid as part of Income Related.

    DWP will have all that information. The dates in question will be the dates stated on the letter you received with the ESA3 form. You also don't need to be in the support group to receive the SDP because it's paid in either group, including assessment rate. If other criteria apply of course.

    All you can do is wait for a decision to made on the ESA3 form, which can take between 12-20 weeks.
