How will a change in Circumstances affect Income Based ESA

Hi All. My Daughter currently lives on her own but will need to come and live with us for a while whilst she gets her own place sorted out. She is currently receiving Income Based ESA Support Group and gets the Enhanced Disability Premium and Severe Disability Premium. She also receives the Enhanced rate for Care in PIP.

We know her PIP Award won't be affected, but my husband will be retired by the time she comes to live here, not on Pension Credit, as he has his own work pension. I'm on ESA (Cont) Support Group. I looked at the "entitled to" site but there didn't seem to be a section for non dependents who are retired. Anyone have any advice, just so she can ideally budget accordingly. In fact any advice on clarifying the whole non dependent thing anyway, would be great too..

I would expect her to lose the SDP as that is only payable to people living in their own, or treated as living alone.

Thanks yes you're right. Sorry that was the only bit of info I did know and forgot to add!
