    I lived with an unrelated flat mate, we had separate tenancies and everything and I didn't qualify for the premium - the rules are mad.

    I knew someone who lived with a friend and because they had seperate bedrooms and no communal space ( it was a 1 bedder) they both got that premium, I have no idea if it's changed now tho x

    if both adults in a house get the qualifying benefit, they will BOTH receive the SDP, as long as no one is claiming carers allowance for looking after them.
    even if they are in a relationship
