THIS IS THE BENEFIT THE OP REFERS TO

Severe Disablement Allowance (SDA)

What is it?

Since April 2001, people have not been able to make a new claim for Severe Disablement Allowance (SDA). However, if you are already getting SDA, it will usually continue. This benefit is paid if you have not been able to work for at least 28 weeks in a row because of ill health or disability.
What are the benefit rates?

If you were getting Severe Disablement Allowance (SDA) in April 2001 you will normally continue to receive it. Since April 2001, when the benefit was replaced, no new customers have been able to claim SDA.

• Severe Disablement Allowance: £57.45

Age related additions

• Higher rate: £15.65
• Middle rate: £9.10
• Lower rate: £5.35

No actualllythey wernt definatly mistaken, they picked a benefit which was suggested which is what trolls do, you adopt the information given.

I posted this thread asking if anyone had heard of Severe Disability Living Alowance and I asked if it could be minority benefit for vaccine damage etc but it dosnt exist and it never has.

There are rare benefits like constant attendance allowance which is much more when you get IIB than normal AA but this isnt one of them.

Here we go again - why wont you just accept that you are not correct.

One of the many benefits that qualified a person for SDA (called a passport benefit) WAS the higher rate care element of DLA.

For your information I have copied all the passport benefits from the DWP guidance site..



" -get the care component of Disability Living Allowance at the highest rate
- or have had an invalid tricycle or invalid car or private car allowance from the former Invalid Vehicle Scheme
- or are registered as blind with your local authority
- or have previously been assessed as at least 80% disabled, so long as the period covered by the assessment has not expired when you made a previous claim for SDA
-or have received an award under the vaccine damage payments scheme
- or have in the past been assessed as at least 80% disabled under the industrial injuries or war pension schemes "


Please just accept that other people might and do know more than you do.

Your attack on the OP of this thread and other who have tried to correct you in a pleasant way has not been nice to read at all. I have copied this onto your other thread which you started in order to get people to agree with you.

An apology might be nice - after all you did call me a troll and I might even go as far as to suggest that is what you are continuing to do yourself

I am just an ordinary mum trying to cope with everyday life and looking after my daughter who has learning difficuties. This was also the first time I had ever posted a question on this forum and was utterly stunned at the attitude you took, never thinking it would cause so much controversy I can't imagine how you would react to someone that was deliberately lying if that is the way you reply to someone making an innocent mistake. Okey it should have been SDA not SLDA that I typed, it is just that my daughter has been getting both DLA and SDA for so long now that I have always thought of them as similar but one of the is severe. That didn't warrant the torrent of abuse that you decided to reply with. If you had asked me nicely to explain the benefits my daughter got I would have told you, instead of ranting on about me being such a liar, but as I said before I wasn't asking about benefits I was asking about 'the best place to put her savings' I think you should be reprimanded by the forum for sending such offensive replies, calling me a liar (or troll as you put it) over something so trivial amazes me. Especially as it was just incidental that I mentioned the benefits my daughter receives. The advice I asked for was about the best place to put her savings then that got side tracked to you arguing with everyone that was trying to explain what SDA was.
You should apologise to the other members who were trying to explain things to you they were not liars (or troll what ever that means) they were just trying to help explain things to you.
I am sure I have made mistakes in this post that I am sending if I have please don't send anymore abusive replies back to me. I am only human and we can all make mistakes. I only hope that when you are in need of help you receive constructive sensible replies and no one treats you the way you treated me. It was not a very good welcome I got to my first time on the forum.

Read the Forum Etiquette Box. It says "Please be nice to all money savers. There's no such thing as a stupid question and even if you disagree courtesy helps"
