    Hi,

    I'm not sure what you mean by prem rate?

    If you mean SDP, then you will need to be living alone and in receipt of PIP care element, with no-one getting carers allowance for you to be eligible for that.

    If someone does get carers allowance for you, then you getting SDP would stop their carers allowance.

    Hi @chrisyboy, welcome to the community. I can see that OverlyAnxious has already started answering some of your questions, but I just wanted to say hello and welcome 😊

    There's some information about different Disability Premiums and the eligibility on the government website that you might like to have a read through:
