Doses this mean as we as the premium or will we lose the SDP just a bit confused and would like to know before I phone them tomorrow. Thanks

I can't remember the exact circumstances but it is possible on ESA to receive 2 x SDP and 1 x Carers Premium.

Try putting your information into one of the online benefit calculators.

I actually meant I need to look up the circumstances

You should be able to claim 2 x SDP and one of you can claim Carers Allowance for the other providing they are able to provide the 35 hours of care a week and their doing so does not conflict with their own limitations, giving you a Carers Premium of £34.60/week as well.
