severe disability premium

Hi, i have just done a benefits calculator provided by Martin. It says i am entitled to severe disability premium, but DWP says no, after i just started claiming PIP.How can i claim SDP? I got it before on a previous claim, but not this time. I have just had my annual non rise in benefits letter, it hasn't gone up for a few years either.All i get is ESA and work related premium, and middle rate PIP.Has anyone else been turned down for SDP? please get in touch if you can help. Thank you and take care. :j:j

    More information is needed to be able to help.



    You say middle rate PIP, there's no such thing as middle rate. It's standard or enhanced for daily living and mobility. What exactly is your PIP award?


    Do you live with anyone, house share, partner, parents, dependent child?



    Does anyone claim Carers allowance for looking after you?
