Thank you. Will do that tomorrow. Sods law when I want to query it all they closed at the weekend!0 -
Also, is SDP paid with ESA or PIP?0

SDP is paid as part of income based ESA.0

Thanks for confirming. So hopefully should be around £373.80 fortnightly ESA and SDP.0 -
Yes that is exactly what I get for ESA SG with SDP.

Well DWP are being a nightmare this morning. Won't send him a IS10 form as she 'cant' and she cant manually update the ESA claim and add SDP. Unsure why and told me she will find out and call me within 5 days. Not happy. (UPDATE: Phoned again and it had been processed and backdated from 21st November)
LHA is £68.35 a week so that will stay the same, as will the council tax support. Lives in a 2 bed house since partner left a year ago. Easier to stay than move out with the stress.
Just looking at benefit amounts and should be on:
ESA £125.05 a week
Housing £68.35 a week
SDP £61.85 a week
PIP £76.90 a week
= £1,328 a month which is great. Little **** will get more than me and I work!
Suffice to say he will not be contesting the points.0 -
Andy you wonder why people get annoyed when they moan they don't get much or want more!
Benefits pay too well there is little incentive to get better or report change it is equivalent to about £21k salery per year. Without the hassle of a job.
Many people on the sick could only dream of earning that much due to poor skills and education.
Don't forget all the other perks that come with benefits like dentists prescriptions and other freebies.
Benefits are no longer a safety net.
Why do these 'disability premiums' exist? If the government are making these premium awards because they actually believe that what DLA/PIP pays out is too small, then they should increase DLA/PIP to the right level. Why is a disability being compensated twice?0 -

People are always wanting more... this is not an exclusive trait of benefit claimants... when I was in work it seemed to be the daily chatter or complaint. In fact because they spent so much time talking about it I had to compensate for their lack of efficiency... which led me to claim I should be paid more."Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0
