    You need to ask the DWP for an IS10 form to be sent to your son so he can claim the SDP.

    Thank you. Will do that tomorrow. Sods law when I want to query it all they closed at the weekend!

    Also, is SDP paid with ESA or PIP?

    SDP is paid as part of income based ESA.

    Thanks for confirming. So hopefully should be around £373.80 fortnightly ESA and 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.

    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.
    My gripe is why do people who are compensated for a disability get extra money because they are disabled when claiming a means tested benefit?
    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?

    I actually agree with you.

    Probably for the same reason we have lots of different taxes... just as per biological evolution the default is to add on to or amend what is existing to address an arising issue.

    We are talking here about disabled people... or in particular a disabled person. To use terms like perks in that context along with other people having a moan seems somewhat telling of your character. In any case you'd have to put into context those extra costs of disability... disabilities I'm sure people would rather be without.

    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.
