    That means you’re now entitled to the SDP. You don’t need to wait for the letter from PIP. You can ring ESA to ask them to claim it. The form can be filled out over the phone. It’s the quickest way to claim it and you should have a decision quite quickly.

    For your PIP award if you’re not happy you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR) You should put this in writing stating where any why you think you should have scored those points.

    Most MR decisions remain the same but you can proceed to Tribunal if this happens.

    That will be the automated payment line. If there’s no award in place there will be no information to give you, so it won’t work for you. Even when there is an award in place it has been known to give incorrect information.

    That’s normal if there’s no award in place.

    I’ve phoned esa up and did a form over the phone she said it varies from £20 wk to like £100 a wk so I’m not sure what extra I would get … does anyone else know who I need to contact

    poppy has mentioned above that SDP is £76.40 a week, which you can see here if you scroll down to 'Severe disability premium': https://www.gov.uk/disability-premiums/what-youll-get
    Unfortunately another example of poor information as the amount of SDP doesn't vary apart from the annual uprating so will be a little less than this for March when you first claimed (£****.40).

    Apologies, usually I post links but didn’t today because I was using my phone and commenting with that is always more difficult for me. 
    @chiarieds thanks for posting that link!

    Potentially a few weeks but shouldn't be any longer the 1 month.

    Money owed will be paid separately to your usual fortnightly payment. If a decision's been made before your next payment is sent then the SDP will be included with that payment.

    Usually you'll receive a decision letter after payment has been made.
