severe disability premium was created by Marvel2017
as I was awarded a certain level of PIP ( I am undertaking a MR currently) I was invited to apply for severe disability premium- now I didn't think I would be entitled as I don't live alone- my adult child lives with me. but I included in my application that they are a tenant in their own right & responsible for the rent equally- through tenant deposit scheme receipt & the rental agreement & low & behold 14 days later was awarded the premium. so please if you do get invited to apply do fill in the form & provide as much info as possible it could be worth it.

Hi Mass
There are two sets of requirements for the Severe Disability Premium.
First, to be eligible for the Premium, you need to be receiving a qualifying benefit such as the PIP Daily award that you have just received (there are others) you lived alone or were considered to be living alone and no one receives Carers Allowance against your PIP award or as a couple you can qualify if both you and your partner get a qualifying benefit (PIP daily living).
Secondly, to be entitled to payment of the Premium you need to be receiving an Income Related benefit such as ESA(IR), Income Support or Pension Credit but not Universal Credit.
