Can I get Severe Disability Premium - Live in motor home on parents property

I may be mistaken, but I thought eligibility for SDP is dependant on the OP regarded as living alone ?

In this case, if the mobile home is not regarded as a separate dwelling, then surely it forms part of the same property i.e. the parents property.

The definitions of things in law are not always consistent.
This is one of those cases.

I have just recently been awarded PIP Daily living Enhanced Rate. I also receive ESA and am in the support group. Shortly after receiving the PIP award, ESA wrote to me advising I may be entitled to the severe disability premium. I had a good read through and seem to meet all the criteria. There is one that worries me though with regards to having to live alone. I live in a motor home on my parents property. It has it's own bathroom so I don't share with my family. Obviously I pop in the family home to see them from time to time and I pay them the sum of £140.00 a month for use of the motor-home. Does it matter that my parents, as non-dependants live in a house next to me? Will living in a motor-home class me as living alone meaning I can claim. I really don't want to fall foul of this as the calculation for premium entitlement seems a little bit more complex than usual.

Thank you

You won't be regarded as sharing the accommodation so you should be eligible
