It depends how much SDA is and how much the government says they need to live on.

Yeah that made me laugh too.

I only stumbled onto this thread looking for info about SDP, found it now thanks folks.

Severe disability premium

The severe disability premium (SDP) can be paid in addition to other premiums. To get the couple rate, both members of a couple must satisfy the conditions.
Single claimant

The SDP is paid if the claimant:

• is getting Attendance Allowance or the higher or middle rate of Disability Living Allowance care component; and
• no non-dependants over 18 live with them; and
• no-one is getting Carers Allowance to look after them

Don't worry yourself with what she is getting, if she is doing wrong then she'll get found out one day. If she's not then you could cause a whole lot of trouble for her.

Just lead your own life and leave her be - Not sure you should call her a friend if this is how you think about her?
