Severe disability premiums

Hi percey

The SDP became payable from the first day that all three of the following applied.

1. You had an award of ESA and we’re receiving or were entitled to receive Income Related ESA or Pension Credit.

2. You had an award of PIP Daily Living

3. You met the criteria for payment of the SD Premium, namely that you lived alone or were considered to be living alone and no one receives Carers Allowance against your PIP award.

It is taking longer for forms to be processed, did you send it by recorded delivery?

To put your mind at ease, contact DWP to check that they received the correspondance you sent in and at the same time ask how much you will receive and when it will be paid from.
