.....i got a letter yesterday (Sat) and it was about The Severe Disability Premium? i had to complete a small form and i stated i lived alone and no one was claiming carers allowance for me. Is this an extra benefit i may get? and if so will it be backdated like my PIP award?

From your post it would sound as if you qualify.

It will be backdated to the later of your PIP award or the award of the benefit that allows payment (e.g. ESA or IS), I'm guessing this would be the PIP.

It goes on to say that they will check with me about my conditions again but not till after May 2018 does this mean i don't need to worry about dealing with all this again until 2018 at the earliest?
thanks
