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

    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?

    It would have been better to have started your own thread with this question. Asking questions on other peoples thread causes confusion because people read the first post and reply to that.


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