SDP well overdue?

Looking forward to a long time on hold DWP tomorrow morning so time to see any replies here. Been on DLA HRC and HRM since 2010, is with edp, now ESA support group. My carer wasn't eligible for ca, only the underlying. So stopped that 2 weeks ago, so going to call about sdp but, now see that as ca wasn't paid, I should have been getting sdp all along. Am I awaiting a nice backdated payment plus interest?

    Have you filled in the IS10 form to claim SDP?

    According to other posts your father was also living in the house until recently. Was he also exempt from the non dependant category?

    You posted about this before and because someone was claiming CA for you even tho it wasn't being paid because of other benefits, this still means that someone was claiming it for you. You maybe able to get it back dated to when the CA stopped but you do have to fil out a form in order to claim it. Providing no one over the age of 18 is living with you.
  • No one living with me,no dependents and, according to one web site,ca without the actual payment doesn't out. Just trying to find out before I ring.

    Neither your mother or your father? There is some confusion as your situation changes often. Do you have a support worker that might help you with this?

    See that's why so many get frustrated, you don't know individual ops, many circumstances are too complicated to list, and too personal, so why can't you just answer the question . All the other stuff is nothing to do with you.

    How rude.

    People (including me) do go through other posters history to try and understand the situation if it's stuff they've mentioned in the past.

  • One more try...simply...can you claim sdp if someone is getting only the pension credit, no money, as your carer? If you've nothing better to do then insult and criticise, well we all get comfort somehow.

    You are a very rude person!!! You have already posted on here once and it seems to me that you keep changing your circumstances. You already told us that your mother claims CA for you but because of overlapping benefits she doesn't actually get any money. Well as i've already told you in a few previous posts that even though she doesn't actually get any money from this CA because she actually claims it for you then SDP would NOT be paid during this time.

    The reason your mother doesn't actually get CA payment is because she gets other benefits which affect CA payment. So she gets the top up instead.
