Hi,
I applied for pip back in June,I had my HCP assessment at the end of august,so last week I bit the bullet and phoned the pip help line (as my anxiety is going through the roof waiting for a decision) The telephone advisor said he would email the decision maker and phone mid next week,I was going to phone tomorrow.
But today I had two calls from an unknown number and they had left a message it was from ESA and get in contact,I thought oh no has claiming for pip kick started another review for my ESA,
After waiting nearly 40 minutes I got an answer the lady was very polite and went through sercurity checks,she the proceeded to invite me to claim SDP I asked what it was,she said because I've been awarded PIP,I was gob smacked to be informed like this,I'll not hold my breath till I get the brown envelope,
She went through the form with me and reassured me I was entitled to it,
My question is am I entitled to this and will it be back dated?
Thank you in advance I would be great full any information.

To be entitled to the SD Premium you need to be receiving Income Related ESA in part or in whole, you need to have a PIP Daily Living award which no one claims Carers Allowance against and lastly, you need to live alone or to be considered as living alone.
If you are eligible then the Premium will be backdated to the earliest date that you had both ESA(IR) and PIP Daily Living.

Thank you Gordon for the fast reply, I am in receipt of IR Esa it looks as if I've been awarded Pip as a lump sum has been paid into my bank account,no award letter yet but I'm sure this will follow,
