  • Oh, I see.

    I ticked 'no' to the box, as I have a younger child in receipt of DLA MRC + LRM.
    So as I can only receive CA for one of my children, I claim for the younger, not the older, even though my son has higher care needs.

    He still will not receive the SDP because he lives with other adults.

    Just to provide evidence of this:

    The Severe Disability Premium

    Single rate

    If you are single, you may get the lower rate premium if you live alone, no one gets Carer's Allowance for looking after you and you get the middle or highest care component of Disability Living Allowance.
