It's DLA middle rate care that qualifys someone to SDP. I think the extra £13 is enhansed disability premium

It's an extra disability premium.. To qualify you need to be in reciept of DLA MRC or HRC, live alone and no one claims carers allowance for you.

If you use a benefit calculator on this site or Directgov.com this should tell you exactly what your entitled to including H/CT benefit.

Contact your local office and ask for a claim form for SDP.

If you live with your mum you wouldn't qualify for SDP, however, it's still worth checking your benefit entitlement with the benefit calculator.
