severe disability premium and back dating

Hi

My mother gets income based ESA with this she gets:
The carer premium - for looking after me
Disability income guarantee
And maybe a disability premium of £15

I know she does not get severe disability premium.

Because I get DLA - MRC HRM, would she be entitled to SDP since me being the non dependant would be in recipt of a qualifying benefit?

She has had an award of PIP Standard daily living since Jan 2014 (which came about as a successful appeal).

Could it be back dated if entitled?

Hi JediCP,

The premiums are explained here

ESA Premiums

Your mother should get this backdated to the date she became eligible (if she is).
