Pete I understand part of the criteria for SDP is you need to be living by yourself.0

I'd recommend sending a letter like the one below, this is what I've been using on a regular basis and have had backdates applied for 5/6 years where applicable.
I'm not doubting you but because you only have 2 posts is there anyone more established here who can vouch the template letter you provided is accurate for my purpose before I use it?0 -
Hi,
I sent the template letter from above(thankyou) for my mums backdated sdp, heard absolutely nothing, its been 3mnths now.
How long do they get back to you?
TIA0 -

To answer your question then your mum needs to ring DWP because they are the only ones that can answer your question.0
