Here might not be best place to ask that one as no one knows your exact circumstances or why you get what you get at this moment.
It might be better to contact Social care adviser at your council to get what is called a benefits review and they may be in a better position to advise on this further. That would be where I'd start. Especially since People are being reviewed who are on DLA/ESA/IB/IS etc at present.

It might be worth giving someone a chance to answer first!

OP, the only other benefit you may have been entitled to was IS, however as you live with your parents you are not entitled to the SDP, and so you have no entitlement. If you lived alone and no one claimed Carers Allowance for you, you would be eligible for the SDP and hence receive a further payment.

Your situation may also differ if either of your parents are disabled - is this the case?

What are the two things that you have been told?

How long have you been incapable of working? You may be entitled to the disability premium, and possibly the enhanced disability premium. You will not be entitled to the severe disability premium though
