    It does include SDP. What I mean is that the way things are worded here sometimes are frightening to those reading it. I understand that my UC will never go up, that whatever I am awarded I will be on for the duration of the time I claim, so as things go up in price etc I will never get an uplift to my benefit. They put benefits up each April so it's not like it will erode week by week? Will be year by year.

    Do you have to attend a face to face assessment if you are in the support group and can provide proof of ID?

    I didn't advise that your UC will never increase. Of course it will increase once TP erodes completely. How long it takes to erode will be different for everyone. What I said was, eventually you'll be receiving the same amount as someone that isn't currently receiving SDP.

    For your first appointment if you can't attend in person you can ask for a reasonable adjustment for a telephone appointment.

    My cousin didn't, she did it all online. I don't know the specific reasons for if they would ask you to go in for a face to face, maybe if you're unable to confirm your ID online correctly? But as poppy said you can request a phone call if you cannot attend
