in Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
I received a call today regarding telling me I'm able to make a claim for SPD as I'm now on ESA and PIP but I live with my step father who's a pensioner... Am I eligible for SPD or not? Thanx

    Does your step father receive PIP or DLA or AA as well? 
    No just state pension

    Info here - https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums/eligibility

    Is it income based ESA you get? 

    Normally you won’t be eligible for SDP if someone lives with you unless they receive a qualifying benefit.

    Unless he's registered blind or recieves either PIP daily living, DLA mid./high rate care or Attendance Allowance then you won't be entitled to SDP.
